I hear you. I got a bunch of rate quotes and I think I will be getting comp and collision which should cover theft as well.

I too would like my bike to remain "not stolen"...

I was thinking that also might work. Im going to look at making some sort of a ramp today with a board and one of those truck-bed ramp kits sold at Lowe's

Worst case it costs me a few bucks and I end up not using it after all.

My GF suggested I walk it through the condo instead, but I dont know how well that would work out.

VA is probably one of the better places and has a solid 7-8 month riding season. The heat/humidity/storms/rain got me when it was spring and summer and then the cold got me during the winter. East coast cold is different than midwest and west coast cold...really got to me

I'm in San Diego now and there's no comparison between the weather and the roads here to Virginia It is absolute heaven here. In over a month here it's been perfect riding weather every single day and just amazing riding.

I bought a waterproof cover from pep boys for about 40$ last year. it's a nice soft fabric. the only down side is my bike gets dusty, that's about it.
