Morning, fellow Grease-monkeys!!
My new bike is coming to live with me on Saturday but as there's no cosy garage in which to rest her weary head she'll be shackled to a lamp post outside my flat. I know from bitter experience with every Ebay cycle cover I've bought in the past 10 years that they disintergrate/split/leak so has anyone got one that's really good?
I can see ones from £20-£100 that all claim to work miracles/make the tea/clean the bike while you sleep but I trust noone on review sites!
Something like this (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Oxford-Rainex-Rain-Dust-Cover/dp/B000R593I8/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top)?
Any recommendations from the poor garageless people out there?
Cheers...Buzz

I have the more expensive one. http://www.amazon.co.uk/OXFORD-STORMEX-MOTORCYCLE-WEATHER-COVER/dp/B000R593AG/ref=sr_1_1?s=sports&ie=UTF8&qid=1337160418&sr=1-1 (http://www.amazon.co.uk/OXFORD-STORMEX-MOTORCYCLE-WEATHER-COVER/dp/B000R593AG/ref=sr_1_1?s=sports&ie=UTF8&qid=1337160418&sr=1-1)
It is pretty good, must be at least 6 year old now.. I think its losing some waterproof properties but i may be able to solve that with nikwax or something.

I picked a standard one up from Hein Gericke - cost about £20-£25 and has been very durable. It would still be in perfect condition if it wasn't for my old man who backed in to it and knocked the bike (and cover) into the rough exterior of the house... oddly, it somewhat comforted the fall...

I also have the stromex. It has a heat proof inner so won't melt on the exhaust.
