Those motorcycle bubble things use a fan to keep themselves inflated. I have seen them and I don't think they are intended for outdoor use.

That outdoor version looks like it might just do the trick.

I just took my bike down off her blocks after 10 months. I changed her oil before I left, filled her ALL the way up with gas, put her battery on a tender and left town.

I got back Saturday and took her down, installed the battery, and she started right up with no issues. Of course, she was inside a garage the whole time, and temps ranging from 60 to 100 degrees. If it gets too cold, you get condensation in the fuel tank if there's any airspace in there.

ride it to work every day, and park it infront of the dealership. As long as it is not snowy or icey, or down for mods, its there. So kind of storing her outside ;)

The Car Capsule and Bike Capsule are neat! Just add in some Styrofoam peanuts and you've got yourself one of those giant holiday snow globes!
