Daylight saving finished yesterday. Feels like we have been thown into winter. Dark at 5.45 tonight. Wife said the electric blankets going on next time she changes the bed.......l suggested we get some fire starters to have at the ready.
We must be getting soft.
Was a beautiful day for a ride today but too many nutter holiday drivers on the roads for me.

Surely bike and car covers would be sensible - super easy to remove and take the snow and ice with them the next day.

I can see why they get corrosion & iffy connectors up there.  Can't say I'd be too pleased to wake up & see that.   Poor wee bike, I feel sorry for it.

Garage/shed is OK, but I haven't seen those VERY impractical covers/rags used in years.
And bikes/cars/equipments on ship are corroding much more under that cover than without it!!
The cover keeps moisture under it self and dont let constructions dry. Tested and confirmed too many times!!
But maybe that cover is great against sun and sand? :grin:

Agree, them covers are shite. Doesn't matter what you use! Let it be very humid and even a bed sheets will be damp. I tried these, as well as blankets and "permeable" (made for this purpose) covers. All used inside the garage. As long as humidity is low they all work fine.

i have a sun/rainproof cover. 6 yrs old now. my bike is parked outside at work. without it bike would be wrecked, colour faded, switches etc faded. 1/2 hour for bike to cool, i put it on. our climate may be different, sub tropical &humid. that sun is a killer. oxford covers, uk brand, last one season here. obviously they test for our climate. yes, theyve done it well. my cover i mean. me going to golf without sunscreen, same as not covering bike.
