If you don’t have heated garages chaps, check your bikes. Mine were dripping as warm air has come in on to very cold bikes as it’s warmed up overnight.
A dehumidifier is your friend in this country I’m afraid. Use approx same amount of electricity as a fridge.
We use one for the laundry. I’m aiming to extend a cabin I’ve built into my garage so when I fire up the log burner it will help keep things dry.
Same here. Just been to check mine in the underground car park, not been out on it today. Really warm air, everything dripping wet.
It’s the sudden rise in temp - should be OK for a week or so now according to the Met Office. Mine are dried now - thank you Bruhl!
My Frankenstein diesel heater set up takes care of the temperature, though I am fortunate that the garage is also damp free. Unlike my previous one.
Almost. Took me six months to design and build it. Has been run for over 400 hours now without a hitch, though it will require a stripdown and service in the spring. I've used around 133 litres of fuel in that time so around £200 over 13 months which ain't bad.

You can slap one in for surprisingly little money. Plenty of Youtube videos on how to do that safely. Mine is an OTT bespoke system but you can spend under £100 to get one up and running that will achieve the same results and will keep you toasty in the winter months.
We live off Grid in the winter I reverse the air cooling on the generator and give the bike a nice blast of hot air
Firing up a log burner will just pull the water out of the air, most of it will land on your bike. Dehumidifier is the key.
Or better still, don't even bother. It's a bike for goodness sake............. Then again, each to their own I suppose.
Agreed. I've run a cheapish dehumidifier in my garage for years. I just keep an eye on the RH via a remote readout (Amazon £15) and when it creeps up just whack it on set to 55. It not only keeps moisture off the bikes but everything else - cycles, tools etc - and makes the garage a useful storage space for things that would otherwise suffer there.
Got a link? Thx. Burner has a flue and I’ve got vents to allow airflow so with that and a dehumidifier it’ll certainly help.
