WOW!
I just got my Touring Model Bike Barn cover last night (incidentally, the same day I was hired for a new job AND I proposed to my girlfriend. Then I come home and find a present waiting!). We're expecting our first snow showers of the season this weekend, so I decided that today (Friday) was do or die. I got started around 4:00 and finished around 5:30. A little longer than I thought it would take, but I wasted a good 20 minutes looking for parts that I thought had been left out of the shipment. Then I realized I was an idiot and they were right in front of me. So, after getting over my own stupidity, I was able to complete assembly relatively easily.

It definitely helps to have a second set of hands to help steady the steel tubes when you're attaching them. I immediately put my FatBoy in when I finished. It fits perfectly, even with the saddlebags and windshield. I'm thrilled!! I used to have a standard bike cover than secures with bungee cords. We had a blustery day 2 weeks ago, and a 68MPH gust caught the cover like a parachute and tipped my bike over! Luckily, no serious damage. But, that is what lead me to this wonderful product. Less $$$ than 4 months of winter storage,plus I can use it year-round. This is the best investment I've made for my pride and joy. BUY ONE NOW!!

A MUST HAVE,
My 83 YAMAHAWG says thank you. No problem to assemble. Quality item for sure- very impressive you will not be sorry – guaranteed.

Hi Guys,
I just received my new Bike Barn motorbike cover and assembled it this past Saturday. I was amazed at the quality of your product. I must admit, I was very skeptical, and was prepared to try it with the intention of sending it back if I didn't like it. Covers weren't good enough and I didn't feel like spending $1000.00 on a shed and getting a permit to put it on my property and finding a place to put the shed. I keep my Bike Barn right in my driveway.

It only took me about 3 hours to assemble with my 2 year old daughter helping me. I probably could have done it in half the time by myself but she likes to help me with stuff for my bike.

I Live in New Jersey and ride a 2003 Harley Davidson Superglide. I moved to a house with no garage and wasn't going to pay storage fees for the winter. I was using an outdoor motorcycle cover but it was a real hassle fighting with it to put it on and worse yet waiting 2 hours for the pipes to cool before putting the cover on.

Also, when I'm in a hurry to go to work in the morning I had to fight with the cover then roll it up and throw it in the back of my truck and when I get home I had to open my truck and take the cover off.

My Bike Barn is so easy, it's a real pleasure to use. It takes about 5 seconds to open it, roll my bike out and another 5 seconds to close it. The greatest part is when I get home, I open the bike barn, ride my bike into it, close it and I'm done. No waiting for the pipes to cool.

I run an extension cord from the back yard under my Bike Barn to keep my battery tender plugged in and connected to my bike for the winter.

This is truly a fantastic product and a great invention. I just wish I found out about this a year ago. I would highly recommend it and will let the members in my motorcycle know about the product.

Thanks again for a great product!

UPDATE: March 25, 2002
Hah! I was taken home March 16th and given a new place to stay. It's not as warm as the showroom, but it's my home. And after a nice, gentle ride there, what does it do outside, but snow! I am snowbound and can't go anywhere! It'll be a few more weeks till Tim can take me out and warm my insides.

What a great product!
Attached are photos of my Bike Barn cover, which I purchased just one week before I bought my new Honda Shadow Aero 750. Putting the Barn together was actually a lot easier than I had imagined - maybe 45 minutes total assembly time. I had imagined that the steel tubing would be cheap tubing of the type you see on Kmart barbeque grill legs and such, but that was obviously not the case - the tubing is much heavier gauge than I expected. As you can see from the photos, it fits my new cruiser just fine. I'm an everyday commuter and I ride year-round, averaging at least 6 days a week on the bike. The ease of just walking out to the patio and uncovering the bike is amazing! Especially considering that prior to buying the barn I stored my bike in a shed in the backyard, which meant running an obstacle course of trees and benches and such to get the bike to the shed. Now it's a cinch to just pull onto the patio and put her away for the night. I actually find I use the bike even more for quick errands and such because getting to it is so much easier now. Just a quick flip up and I'm ready to go.

What a great product! I've recommended it to lots of my biker buds - they're all impressed with the thing! The only downer is my dad, who is 78, keeps calling it my "horse barn." Well, they do call motorcycles "Iron Horses," so I guess he's not that far off!

Thank's for the Bike Barn,
I'm just emailing to say thanks for the bike barn and what an amazing product. I just received it on friday and assembled it with little grief on Saturday. Some of the tubes were a tight fit but that only means they won't come out. Everyone who see's this thing is just amazed and I always get the same reaction. "I've never seen anything like that before". And while some might think it to be a bit pricey in just two days I've justified the cost with the ease of operation and the convenience of not having to hang a tarp over a covered bike every time I get home. And the best part is if I get caught in a shower I can close the cover with all 5.5 foot of me on the bike and dry it off inside. So for any skeptics about ordering some gimmick product online this is the real deal and I'll be promoting this thing to death here is Nova Scotia.

Thanks again and here's some pics.

Hi Bike Barn:
Just wanted to send you a note to tell you how extremely pleased I am since receiving my new Bike Barn. It really is even better than I had hoped. I received it within 5 days of speaking to you, and it only took me about 1 1/2 hours and three bottles of beer to put it together. I was very impressed at how well the instructions explained the assembly, and I only needed a crescent wrench, hammer, ratchet, and a few sockets to put it together. You really get a good feel for the quality of the components supplied when you assemble your Bike Barn. My wife likes it because it looks good beside our house, and really isn't obtrusive in any way. I like it because I can come home after a ride and drive right into it, and not have to worry about waiting for the pipes of my bike to cool, or to fumble around with cumbersome tarps that can melt on the pipes. The size of the Bike Barn is perfect and even with the windshield on my Honda Shadow 750 ACE I have plenty of room to park the bike in it. The two side vents are awesome... they let the heat out very well and you can sure feel the heat coming out of them after a long ride. The Velcro on the vents flaps holds the vents open or closed really well. We have had a few rain storms since I built the Bike Barn, and the fabric has been completely waterproof, and thanks to the quality of the stitching my bike was completely dry after the skies had cleared. My neighbours think that my Bike Barn looks great and "hides" my bike very well from anyone "cruising" the neighbourhood looking to steal a bike. I have only received positive comments from my riding buddies who think that the concept of having a retractable cover that doesn't touch the bike very cool. I am completely satisfied not only with the quality of my Bike Barn, but also with the speed in which it was delivered and the way it was packaged for shipping. I am attaching some photos so you can share with other just how great the Bike Barn Really is.

Thanks very much,

On your website you ask for photos of our installation. I must say that if someone like me, all thumbs and two left hands, can assemble the Bike Barn with no problem, anyone can do it.

Thanks for a great product.

The Bike Barn,
Now that I've got my Bike Barn secured on a frame and retrieved my Harley from storage - here's the pictures I promised.

Great product! Works like a charm and looks great.

Hi there just to let you know,
I have had my bike barn a good 5 years now,still good as new, if you want the best cover for your bike get a bike barn cover, they are the best.

Hello Bike Barners,
I just thought you might like to know that I park my Suzuki Lazy Chair 1500 very comfortably in my touring Bike Barn and am a happy customer as it works just as conveniently as depicted on your web site in the videos of just driving in and closing the cover. DONE ! Fast & easy. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs a place for their bike out of the weather and away from prying eyes. Worth buying for the all around convenience. It pays for itself in the wear and tear on your seat alone out of the UV. Good product and well done. The only thing I think to improve it is by making the tubes out of Stainless Steel or maybe even PVC and making a video on how to construct the unit for us idiots that can only look at the pictures.
