Speaking as someone from far enough north that I park up my bike in a professional storage place every winter... Yeah you do want a professional.  A place with guaranteed temperature and humidity, and a battery tender for the bike, and commercial insurance. That's worth the ~1 eur / day that they charge over the winter season.

Speaking as someone from far enough South that has burnt though a small fortune on airfares this year ( had to make a emergency trip back in the middle of the trip also) with now sky rocketing air fares to get back.
Plus very limited choice of flights because covid effects on airlines destinations down to the far south.
30 hours via Hong Kong so can,t have a stopover there yetdue to China restictions as much as I would love to.
My MC is 30 years old so not really in need of professional luxury care.

Not sure I agree with you.
My MC is 22 years old, and I store it at a dealership in Europe every winter.
The battery gets maintained, and the dealership carries out any necessary maintenance (oil changes, new tires, etc.) over the winter. When I show up in the spring, I just get on it and ride.
Everyone has different priorities, for sure, but for the €1 a day it costs on average to store a moto over the winter, I think it's worth it.

Does he charge more than others? I thought his rates were about the same as a storage locker.

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.
