What are the better Bike Covers for inside my garage?
florence:
I used a waterproof cover for my bike outside. It make it go rusty. Now I protect my bike with oil and grease and it sits in an archway which keeps off most of the rain and there is plenty of ventilation ;D

The Vac Bags are excellent once you get the bike in there which can be difficult if it's a big bike. You do have to drain the fuel out though and remove the battery (and you would want to charge it occasionally anyway). I pump the tires up to about 15psi over the recommended pressure as the bike could be in the bag for 4-5 months.
When I am not using mine I store them in the loft with one bag inside the other. I also wrap the the dessicant (if that is what it is called) in cling film during storage in the summer months as it lasts for two seasons. All in all a good product but a bit of a pain to get the bike in there and once in you will only want to take it out once!

If you exclude the sawdust and grease and oil. Mine get left uncovered for the most part In a garage.
Whenever I've kept a bike clean it condensates and corrodes
But non of mine are showing queens

Followed this thread with interest as my garage gets very cold in winter and condensation can be a problem. I run a small dehumidifier some of the time which helps but due to costs not continuously. Anyway I've gone ahead and got a vac bag to protect the 350 over winter. I can see it's very a simple and effective solution but setting it up was an experience. I tried to paddle the bike in on my own but I was getting nowhere fast and I had to call my wife in to help. It was much easier with two people but I still found it tricky as there was zero grip between the plastic and my trainer soles and I was slipping inside the bag. I'm just glad there was no-one else there to witness it, it was bad enough seeing my wifes expression of amusement.
I'm working on the VFR over winter and I need to move the 350 over to one side to make more room which means I've got to go through this again. There must be some technique to this, anyone got any tips?

Anyone tried an electric dehumidifier for their garage?
This looks pretty good:
