Anyone ever use a cycleshell?

"CycleShell is a fully enclosing, collapsible shelter designed for motorcycle protection and storage."
It looks to be better than a standard cover, but not as good as a garage. Their website is www.cycleshell.com

American Iron or one of those mags reviewed them last year and said they were a pretty cool. Doesn't look like they would last very long to me. I would think the wind and sun would tear it up.
Looks like a heck of lot of money for a cover. Touring: $425 + 75 shipping?!!
I didn't have a garage at my first house, but I did have a kitchen! The wife did get a little upset when I shot brake fluid up on the ceiling.
And she never would give in to me drilling holes in the kitchen table to mount the motor! If you love your bike, bring it in the house! Isn't it part of the family too?

Isn't it part of the family too?Unfortunately, keeping my bike inside is not an option for me. I agree that $425 (plus $75 shipping) is very expensive, but if it does a real good job of protecting my $20, 000 motorcycle....it may turn out to be a bargain. That's why I'm hoping to get some feedback from anyone who's used one! Anyone?? Anyone??? Anyone have any other good outside options??? Is just a standard bike cover really enough???
Happy riding!

We have a prefab shed set up in the drive. Works well and hold up to 4 bikes. Not all that expensive, but more then $500. No motorcycle would make it through the night here unprotected. They would cut a hole in that tent the first night.

Like you, my house has no garage.
I purchased a cycleshell for my RK. So far so good. The shell is well made and the dude that makes them is responsive and easy to deal with. If you have no garage, shed, etc, I would recommend it.

PS - I can post some pics if you wish

There is no need to have accessibility from all sides, but you do need enough room to manuvere you bike, especially if the wall is perendicular to your approach.
As you can see from my pics, I just pull right up and in. My wife's horse trailer provides a nice wind break.
