Moto storage in Croatia, Montenegro or Greece?

For one and a half months ago I started my first trip on my Motorcycle through Europe. Now 4000 km later riding solo from Swedish Lapland, I lie in my tent in south of Croatia and enjoying every second!

Due to the situation I need to reschedule my plan a bit. I'm looking for a place to storage my bike between december-april. If you know anything please get in touch with me

Have a great day!
Kind regards,
Kristina

Hello Kristina:

Whenever I have needed to store my motorcycle in a third country - either for a short time (few weeks) or a long time (over the winter), I have always found a motorcycle dealer who is willing to store it in their facility for a fee.

This is especially easy to do in northern climates where motorcycles are not used during the snow season - dealers often advertise winter storage, including keeping the battery charged up.

It can be a little more difficult to find a dealer willing to store the motorcycle for you in southern climates, because the concept is new to them - they are not used to it. But if you persist and look for a dealer with a large facility, you should be able to organize storage & battery charging. So perhaps go hunting around at local motorcycle dealers.

Typical prices I have paid north of the Alps are around €1 per day. South of the Alps, I have found it to be more expensive because dealerships have to be coaxed into storing the motorcycle. Last winter, I paid €75 a month to store the bike in Sicily. The winter before, I paid €60 a month to store it in Madrid, at a facility that specialized in winter motorcycle storage for northern European residents.

Michael

Hi Kristina
PM as I am sure that we can find storage for your bike, Montenegro or Croatia for free as we bikers from Balkan do not see money as only objective when comrad needs a favour.

Safe ride

Bike Storage in Croatia

Hi, I’m travelling from Bulgaria to Croatia in the next 10 days
Did you find somewhere secure to park your motorbike because I would like to leave mine there for 6 to 8 months in that area?
Thanks, regards, John
