Bike Condoms Motorcycle Covers?

Is this thread related to "When big isn't big enough..." thread??

 

[Diesel Dave]

Can you fit a couple in your wallet?

Doesn't sound like something I'd want to use. lol

 

[Ozark Rider]

obviously self lubricating.

 

[Diesel Dave]

With it on - can you park behind other brand bikes without fear?

There made of a semi stiff plastic, be OK as a dust cover but outside if the wind blew even a little I think you would find it down the street plus I think it will chaff the paint.

Ribbed?

Ahh yeah but, you have to turn them inside out because they are for the one you love

Okay, no constructive comments...

So, before I delete this one....

I'll add mine - Why spend $10 on something that is probably not going to last very long? Spend $50 ish and get something that will last for years. Yes, it may not fit in your pocket but that doesn't matter if it doesn't work.

When touring, I rarely even take a cover. The bike gets dirty so putting a cover on a dirty bike will just cause issues if it gets windy and the cover scratches the bike. I just wait 'til I get home and wash the bike.

Most good half covers can be compressed pretty well to around the size of a 2 liter bottle if not smaller so I would go with one of those and save my $10. Besides, shipping is probably $10 LOL

Well you told me so ! Thanks for giving this an extra lease on life but 3 constructive comments out of ..... well ,a lot really does kind of drive your point home Joe. The thing is i never cover my bike on rides but after a warning from the folks at Russell about keeping the seat dry to prevent moisture getting in at the stitching i wouldn't mind having a pocket sized cover stowed on the bike for those rainy days we all get caught in.I ordered one and we'll see.
THANKS AGAIN JOE BUT YEAH IT'S TIME TO PUT THIS THREAD OUT OF IT'S MISERY !

Oh, this thread was GREAT for a lot of laughs.

Nelson Rigg UV-2000 is a GREAT cover that fits Joe's recommendation and is less than $35.

I'm pretty sure that's the one I have as well.

Also, I think some seat manufacturer used to sell rain covers that would go over just the seat... even a trash bag would work well for that, there's enough gap that it should work in a rainy situation.. it just wouldn't breathe.

All joking aside, I agree with Joe.

Spend 50 bucks or so and get yourself a real travel cover. Been using a Legend Line travel cover for many years, finally replaced it this year with another just like it because I could, the other one was getting a little tattered. I normally cover my bike at night when on the road, to keep prying eyes off of it more than anything, and also to keep water off the sheepskin seat cover if it rains. Mine stuffs into a stuff sack that's about 4 x 6 x 4 inches and squashes into any corner of the pannier.

Don't waste your money.

I am currently without a cover. I keep thinking I should buy one. I am leaning toward the opposite direction of $9.99'er and thinking Geza is what I want. The thought of throwing a big, loose fitting, NASA poly tarp looking contraption over my little honey to be blown around in the wind and scratch the proverbial piss out of everything is not what I'm after.

We've already had that talk.. he still won't return the book.

He's probably just fixated on page 69 where they describe Toucanchew. He'll return it once he gets a bad taste in his mouth over it. :crackup

Laminar KwiKover is what you're thinking of. I use it as well as the N-R 1/2 cover as needed. Works great. Very easy to deploy and stuff away as long as you don't have any bags strapped to the rear seat.

Thanks Dave!

 

[Muchmore]

Sorry Joe but I have to....

This is the only way I would let COOP park behind me.

Is it lubricated?

I have a "single use" bivouac tent, it's a glorified trash bag in orange. Camp Condom?
