Any preferences for bike covers for a TBA? Quality, size, etc.

Walmart $19.95, good quality cover with heat resistant panels, if you have a shield on the TBA, buy the XL size.

I have a $60 "CoverMax" brand cover. After one year, it leaks rain, so I'm now using a 4 X 8 $5 poly tarp and bungees. The bad news is, for 6 months out of that year, the cover was in my cellar, rolled up on the shelf so as not to cause crinks due to folding. Maybe that's normal wear. I don't know. I like Steve's idea better then the $5 poly tarp though. For $20, you could get another as needed.

I'm about due for another $20 one. Bware, the "heat resistant" shields are only resistant. Still need to cool off for a bit, but don't have to be cold.

I bought a DOWCO EZ Cover for about $75 five years ago. It has a rear zipper to install it easily over saddlebags, sissbar, etc. Heavy duty construction, metalicized bottom for protection from mufflers. Used outside 2 years under a roof. Stored since then. Still just like new.

I bought a Walmart bike cover Monday night. It proved to be waterproof on the first night's rain. Well worth $20. Thanks for the tip Steve.

I am always looking for a bargain.
No problem, advice and tips are free! I am not a big fan of Wally world but sometimes there are bargains.

Walmart is an evil empire that needs to be stopped. Them and Starbucks. They do no good to communities. they think it's a good idea to put a Walmart accross the street from a Kmart or Target or what ever just to putt the other company out of business. What does one small area need TWO giant superstores right accross the street from each other for. I'm all about competition but this is rediculous.

Starbuck does the same. They open coffee shops right accross the street from a small locally owned coffee shop with the same goal of shutting them down and monopolizing the area.

To h*ll with both of them.

You should be able to find and alternative elsewhere, just might take a little more searching.
