WNTR Storage- Garage isn't insulated. What cover/enclosure should I get?
I live in a house that has a garage. The garage isn't insulated and it's quickly approaching freezing temps here. Since there isn't any insulation the dew will form on metal objects in the garage when cold. I really don't want that for my new bike.
What cover or enclosure should I get? I'm leaning more toward an enclosure. Saw this but haven't heard anything

yeah, I'd say don't cover her. The garage will protect it from the elements (except cold). But a cover could cause condensation to form under it, causing rust.
Do like thrasher said + lube the chain before storing it. If you're really paranoid, wrap the exhaust / air intake with plastic bags + rubber bands so critters can't crawl into the engine

I've lived in this house for a number of years. I've had a few cars sit in one side for the winter. The condensation does get in and it discolors/corrodes aluminum so I'm not taking it lightly.
Especially since this is the first vehicle I bought new and I'd quite like it to stay nice for as long as possible.

If you're still getting condensation in the garage, I think a cover will be a really bad idea. The condensation will get under the cover (or inside that ventilated enclosure) and have nowhere to go.
For the short amount of time you're talking, the cover might make it worse than if just left without it
