Silverspring Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 it's raining and my wee bike is getting wet so I think I need to get a cover for it. I was hoping to get a shed but there just isn't enough space in the garden but what about a tent...?http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MOTORBIKE-BIK ... 3cb153361aI know it's kinda pricey but I had budgeted for a shed Quote
TC Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 Looks ok to keep the rain off. But i wonder how sterdy it would be if the wind picked up.TBH I would just buy a normal bike cover for now and save up for a proper shed. Quote
Susieque Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 Not entirely sure but if I remember rightly Ruthie (member on here) has/had something similar Drop her a PM & ask Quote
Silverspring Posted September 6, 2011 Author Posted September 6, 2011 The problem is my garden isn't really big enough for a shed it would end up blocking the window. I thought about building my own box but I doubt I'll have the time this side of winter, might just get a cheap cover to make do for now. Any recommendations? Quote
TC Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 Oxford do a good range of decent covers.http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&so ... ford+bike+have a look at some of those. Quote

bex Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 why not just go to argos and get their bike cover for £20 and then on the colder months add an old blanket or quilt to stop the frost and then save up for a better solution. tbh the size of what you are looking at is not going to be much different from a shed really is it?

Throttled Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 I am on to my second one of thesehttp://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/Product.d ... Motorcyclethe Motrax Delux cover. (Second because of a change of bike, the first one is now covering a work collegues scooter). I would recommend them as they are waterproof, tough and have small openings at the top to put straps through. I keep them open with clothes pegs and that helps to stop the cover bollowing up in the wind. The heat resistant part at the back copes easily with hot exhausts. The holes at the bottom mean I can put my disc lock and chain through the cover to keep it secure as well. Quote
Guest Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 I bought one of these 18 months ago just thrown it away as the cover split .it looks as though its rotted through being exposed to sunlight / weather not good Quote
Throttled Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 My last one had started to go gray with the sun. I gave to a work collegue so I'll get to see how long it lasts. I am expecting to have get a new cover every year or so as it does get a battering. Quote
scanty Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 i have one of these covers. they bolt into the ground so there should be no problem with wind. mine's been standing since last November, even through some nasty nasty winds.only thing is, they aren't too waterproof in a real torrential downpour Quote
