Hi, anyone use one of these things?

I've got a waterproof R&G cover for Summer showers and Mum's Summerhouse for the worst of the Winter weather but was looking for something like this to get me through till Xmas and keep the bike in Yorks incase there are opportunities to ride (don't own a garage)

Appreciate your thoughts as ever

I haven't used one of these, but like you I don't have a garage. My Falco has lived outside for the 9 years I've owned her and still looks great. The finish is definitely better than the two Previous bikes. I use a Stormforce cover, which is light and soft but does seem to be completely weather proof - it survive last winter ok. http://www.coveryourbike.co.uk/stormforcem.htm.

The only problem I've had was a rodent chewed a couple of holes in it when I stored the cover in the shed while I was a way on a trip. But that could have happened to any cover.

Yep. Buy one. Far cheaper than the tin shacks and less condensation. Some of those tin ones create so much condensation, you may as well leave the stuff outside..lol.

I've been using a Motrax heavy-duty cover; going into its fourth winter now, and still sound and waterproof, though it's starting to discolour a little now.

Edit. I was going to provide a link, but it seems to have been discontinued

Don't need one myself, but look pretty good value and should be easy to use.
Certainly look worth a try at this price.

Yes I have one and I rate it highly,little mesh flap at the side near to the top which I feed my optimate though

Certainly worth a punt then, R&G cover i have is ok but ocassionally gets condensation where it touches the bike when left on overnight. At least with these there's nothing touching the bike

Cheers all
