Hey Gang,

Does anyone have a reccomendation on a good weather-proof bike cover? I have the indoor kind, and I think the average tarp is too rough of a material to be touching any surface on my bikes... I also don't want to spend a fortune...

Any suggestions? :whatever:

Hey Fbomer
I have a decent cover for outside but I only used it a couple of times because I found that the same dew that gets on the lawn gets on the bike, even covered. I think it has something to do with the lack of air circulation.
I found this neat shelter on-line that folds like an umbrella and the manufacturer says that it has sufficient air flow to prevent condensation. It costs considerably more than any good cover but it is actually like a little fold up garage. You may not need it but it's neat to just look at.

NC... I head to Cape Cod almost every weekend during the summaaahhh! And when I get there, (I don't have a garage there) I need a cover for the overnight and bad weather conditions. The birds and Seaguls wreak havock on the valuables below, and the salt air and rain are random and frequent in New England....

I have 2 covers that fit my Low-Ride, but need to score one for my Heritage...

GIX! I I'm'ed you late last night... Had a neighbor knock on my door at 5PM last evening... He brought a friend with him to look at my bike.

By 9PM, I had a check in my hand!

I still have a pit in my stomach like I did sometothing wrong - you know selling my beloved MINT1 just doesn't seem right... :cry1:

But the dude seemed to really appreciate it... so that made it easier... :whatever:

Anywas... its's sold... and now thankfully there is room in my Garage for a StreetGlide which is my next big sneaky ****ing scheam... check back with me in a year,,,, you'll see :banana:

Oh ya,,, bought the Dowco Weathergard PLUS cover from CS last night too!
It was a good day... now watch me get hit by a bus or something today.... :angel:
