One or two in bits maybe but 7 of the little fookers no chance :tickedoff:

You can, careful putting grease over any paintwork though, it can stain over time.

I covered my Quad F&F in grease in 1987, then left them in a leaky garage for over 15 years. No idea why I did it at the time 'cos I'd tried to sell the bike, but glad I went to the trouble now.
When I retrieved the parts the F&F were OK apart from a few small spots, but the bars, seatpost, cranks and brake calipers had lost almost all their chrome to rust/oxidation.

For a few months maybe putting the bike or parts in big plastic bags/binliners would help? Would keep the damp air off.

bof:
I have just had a thought what about those big vacum seal bags that they sell on QVC you would have to take the bike to bits. bars off ,wheels off.And if you have any more space you could put in all your summer clothes and keep them fresh for next summer.
