Default Storage for those who live in townhouses.

As you can see from the topic i own a motorcycle and i live in a townhouse. (reside in nova) The reason i added that is because it snows pretty heavy around here. Now, could i get away with leaving my bike (covered) parked outside and starting it once a week, or would the cold be too much for the bike? Which would mean i would be obligated to rent storage space and keep my bike there.

iput would be appreciated

i actually could put it in my basement when i lived in a townhouse. i rolled it through the back area into the back yard and into the basement.

if you can't do that i'd place it infront of your parking space under a cover w/lock and security.

I would for sure try putting it somewhere in your townhouse before i put it in storage.Unless you live with your parents.
