Hell Yeah...Nice and toasty warm. Wish I had room inside my house to store my bikes for the winter. :D

I am fortunate to have a walk-in door into my basement. I have both my bikes stored down there and covered with sheets. I put Stabil in the gas and they are on battery tenders too.

I'm only 18. I have a campus apartment but decided to bring scooter home until it gets warmer. This is in my bedroom I use once a week. Mom won't let me put it there. Claims safety issue cause of gas. I told her the thing has no leaks. Was fine with dad until he asked mom. Then opinions changed :)

I'm assuming that they won't move it until you get back. Innocently ask "Do you actually smell any gas?" when next you arrive and hope for the best. Inside storage would be absolutely deluxe, even if the compromise sent your baby to the basement.
On my scoot, getting there is WAY more than half the fun!

Oh well... maybe at least get some kind of cover. The Walmart one is somewhat cheesy, but better than nothing I would think.

We have a daylight basement and both of our bikes are comfortably stored there. It also gives me a place to work on them. Not doing major stuff, just clean them up and add accessories.

YEA Logepoge! Your Mom is just being a Mom. She undoubtedly wants to help you take care of your investment, but also doesn't want the house to be in danger. She may have a bit of a point, however. If ever there was a fire and the insurance company figured out there was gasoline stored inside, things could get messy.
