Bike storage in southern France needed

Hi all, I am trying to keep the travelling dream going on when I have some days off work and some money available. I have ridden from the UK down to Spain, along Portugal and northern Spain then down to Zaragoza. This has been possible thanks to very kind fellow hubbers. I would like to leave my KLR650 somewhere in southern France, ideally not too far from Toulon or Marseille. Is there anybody around there who could help? I would need storage for about 6-7 weeks, from 17th/08/2013 until about 08th/10/2013. Any help or advise will be greatly appreciated.
Thaks and have great adventures out there

Marco,
If you get no offers from HUBB inmates, you can always try a local
motorcycle dealer, e.g. Google "Marseilles motorcycle dealers" gets you:
at least six dealers with contact info and map location.
Good luck.

Along the coast there are a lot of companies that store boats and caravans over winter. Maybe they have room now, during summer.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
