  3. Stabilize fuel and disconnect the battery.
  4. Photograph the bike and VIN; keep papers with you.

California hurricane season motorcycle questions

Do hurricanes reach California?

NOAA's continental U.S. hurricane impact table (1851-2025) records no hurricane-force winds in California. Weakened tropical systems still bring heavy rain, so a motorcycle stored in a low spot or below grade can flood during the June to November season. Sacramento averages 18.1 inches of precipitation a year, wettest in January.

Which California motorcycle storage listings are enclosed?

216 of 355 live California listings list enclosed indoor space; 40 list covered and 271 outdoor spaces. By city: Los Angeles (34; 4 enclosed), Anaheim (30; 19 enclosed), Santa Ana (26; 15 enclosed) and Stockton (26; 14 enclosed). The most enclosed listings are in Oakland (25) and Sacramento (22). 4 list climate-controlled units. Listings span 50 cities. Prefer a wind-rated building outside the flood zone.

What should I do with my motorcycle when a hurricane watch is issued in California?

Move it at once. 216 California listings list enclosed space; book one before June. Los Angeles has 12 months riding by our rule. NOAA records no hurricane-force winds in California, so the realistic threat to a motorcycle is a remnant storm's rain. Sacramento averages 3.7 inches in January, so check the site drains.

Which California cities have the most motorcycle storage listings?
