    Just pick a cheap one up in Argos(€20 or €30), no point spending mad money on something that you will leave out in the rain and that will get covered in all the muck and oil from your bike. They may not be 100% waterproof but due to the cover being spread over the bike it won't leak as its easier for the water to run off. It will save your bike as water has a habit of getting into places it shouldn't. If its a bit tight to join the hooks underneath add in a piece of string otherwise it will take off with a bit of wind.

    Also make sure it's heat resistant or get some heat resistant tape otherwise you'll have a nice mess on your exhaust!

    the one from Argos is fine, keeps my bike nice and dry.
    you can get a water repellant spray in camping shops for tents that makes the water roll off the cover, works a treat

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    I've 3 argos ones for the stable, come in 2 or 3 different sizes to suit scooter, mid range bike or big cruiser. They keep the rain off for a few years although the eventually rot and split. Still a cheap punt!
