    Remember when we went to Queen will you Hurt me's place.
    And woke up the the dew from the mountain was all over the bikes.
    A few of the other bikes had covers over them.
    I was hopin I could find a place to tote the cover.
    It ain't like the one I posted.
    The one I posted packs smaller than the one I have.
    I found about it aftrer I got this one i have.

    Ahhhhhhhhhh


    It's like this. I'm gonna try to take a little better care of this bike.

    Who knows I might trade it in when the warranty runs out.
    Nicer bike bigger trade in value.

    We might have electric drag bikes by then that are solar powered.
    And will go from 0-60 in 5 seconds.

    Oh I remember and I had a great trip. Wouldn't take nothin for it.

    Sure would of been nicer to just take a cover off and shake it.
    No wet seat, no wet bike or nothin.
    When I drove off it was cold and water was flippin on me off parts.

    Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

    It was my OL birthday a couple years ago.
    Chuck,me and some other folks headed to Beaumont to eat. We seen rain ahead. Pulled under a underpass and put our rain suits on.
    When we drove off you could hardly see the road.
    When we got to the exit ramp the water was 2' deep.

    You couldn't dry yerself off man.
    You really needed a rainsuit.
    We were wet and we had rainsuits on.
    But without them we would of been Super Wet.


    the Cover I posted is suppose to fit in a small bag like a rain coat does so you can take it with you.

    When I was coming home a buddy called me and asked what I was doing.
    He said he went to Sturgis and seen these folks and their motorcycle covers and said how small they pack up.

    They are 79.00 for a dresser, cheaper for other bikes.

    a word of advise on covering your bike in a parking lot......if it is windy dont cover it......have seen the wind catch the cover and pull the bike over like it had a sail on it.........
