Hey at least you have a Wal-Mart now. When I was there all he had was the Bentley Hall (not really a mall now is it). A few late night bars, oddly enough all with gay sounding names "the back door" "alternatives" etc...
I dont use one as it is too painful to remove and refit if you use it all year round, as us lucky aussie do .......plus I dont want to scratch up my screen
Good choice get the cover made for your bike.
What one did you get?
This one Ducati sells is perfect for storage in the garage.
This is not a wet weather outdoor cover although I do use mine outside at work to keep the dew off.
If your garage is anything like mine its worth the extra minute it takes to put on and off.
