A Garage For Motorcycles


Estimated read time: 4 minutes.

It could be said, and certainly has been said on this blog multiple times that the main function of both garages and garage doors as well as all of the accessories that go along with them mainly focus on cars. Cars are the main reason why people have garages and the main way that people really utilize their garages is by storing their cars in them. However, as we have also said a few times over now garages aren’t a single purpose unit. Garages have many different things that make them useful and many ways that they can be used. One of those many ways is to house another type of vehicle, one that doesn’t get a whole lot of love these days, but we are going to take a look at how motorcycle and moped owners utilize their garages and garage doors. We’ll take a look at some of the differences in how motorcycle owners and car owners might use their garages and garage doors and at some of the similarities that make garages so well equipped for handling all sorts of different vehicles as well as really anything when it comes to convenient storage and usability.

The main reason that garages are so used when it comes to cars is because of the convenience factor along with the security and safety that they offer. The garage door along with an automatic garage door opener means that these things are available all at the touch of a button. For car owners and drivers this is something that can be pretty great because it allows them to remain in their car while they open and close their garage door which means that you save a few minutes every time that you leave and arrive at your house. This type of time can really add up pretty quickly and so makes the garage door and automatic garage door opener obviously quite popular with car owners. However, this don’t really have the same appeal of motorcycle riders or bikers. Getting off your bike for a moment to open a manual garage door without an automatic garage door takes just a few seconds and you could even open and close your garage door without getting back onto the bike to move it. So does having an automatic garage door opener make sense for anyone who rides a motorcycle? Or is it that owning a car is the only reason you might want an automatic garage door opener?

If you thought for a second that you shouldn’t get a garage door opener for your garage door because you own a motorcycle then you are mistaken. While you might be able to move in and out of your garage and close the garage door yourself it is a slight inconvenience and if you have a car it makes much more sense to still have an automatic garage door opener for all of the times when you will be using your car and not your motorcycle. The automatic garage door also can still make your life easier, you won’t need to do much if you have the remote accessible while riding meaning that you can just coast in and out of your garage with ease on your motorcycle or moped. However, this saves you really only a few seconds and for most wouldn't be a worthwhile reason to invest in something that could cost quite a bit for just a few extra seconds. The real reason to still have a garage door opener for your garage door if you are only a motorcyclist or biker is for the security.

The security that an automatic garage door opener gives garage is something that really can’t be over stated. Garage door openers can protect your bike by really locking down that garage door in a big way. Home security as well as garage door security has come a long way since those first garage doors and you and your motorcycle might as well benefit from those advances rather than just letting car owners do so. Automatic garage door openers may not seem necessary to someone who can hop on and off of their vehicle in just a few seconds, however with the advancements made in automatic garage door openers it isn’t all about the opening of the garage anymore it is also important when and for whom the garage door opens. Garages house a lot of valuable items, including that motorcycle you are most likely very fond of. This means that having an automatic garage door opener can help protect your garage and your motorcycle even when you aren’t around to do so. While the convenience factor might sway some the idea of security for all of your vehicles and your home should more than make the case for a garage door and automatic garage door openers.

Garage doors and garages may seem to some to be really just something that people use to keep their cars close by and safe without a whole lot of hassle. However, they are pretty much a great asset for any homeowner whether they own a car, a motorcycle, a moped or just a bunch of stuff they don’t want to keep in their house really. The main factor when it came to why garage door openers and garage door openers were such a good idea has shifted away from the idea of convenience which was for a long time their main draw to security. Garage doors and garage door openers are getting smarter with more technological advances and so they are in some ways becoming one of the best home security tools you can use to keep your home safe. Even if you aren’t too worried about having your motorcycle subject to weather or being kept out in the open where someone could steal it there is a very slim possibility that you don’t own one car, which means that you will most likely want to have a garage door and automatic garage door opener regardless.
