Who needs a cover when you have 3 garbage bags?

[skfcheng]

So, today's weather went from beautiful to ridiculously cold. :confused: Since there's no overnight parking in Gilman Parking Structure (I got a citation last week! BOO!), I have to keep my bike outside. Because of the cold, I thought it'd rain, so I thought I should make a home-made bike cover just for the next few days!:lol:

Here are the results! Why would I go for the $30 Cover with waterproof lining when I can have this beautiful cover made from 3 garbage bags and 20 feet of packaging tape? :roflmao:

hawt.

on another note arent you parked awfully close to that altima?

That black primered ancient ride next to yours still has a Saddleback frame around the license plate.


If that doesn't date it, I don't know what does (aside from the gawd-awful lines on the tail section...WTF is it?)!!

Looks like an old school GSXR750 (1985/86)

so that's who it belonged to. hahaha.

[sdtraviesosd]

yep..... parked right next to mine with a $30 cover. hahahahahaha. my cover isnt all that great either. It protects it fairly well from the rain, but regardless of weather it makes my bike sooooooooooo dirty all the time. kinda laaaame

Have you hosed the insides out recently?


Is the dirt getting through the cover?

[247BlackOut]

Really lame that you can't park overnight in gilman. It's the only covered motorcycle spot on campus. What's the reason for not being able to park there overnight?

Good job on the bike cover. :)

[sdtraviesosd]

nah. tough to hose anything down since i live on campus. Really thinking about buying a hose and just tapping into one of the faucets on campus tho. maybe after the rain.

Isn't that Altima... parked awfully close to me? Haha

true

on another note, if you guys need free hosing down, there's a free access to "residents" in the renaissance (behind utc across the street from the villas).

lol, now THAT's ghetto. dude, just ride over to my house and you can use our hose.

[HondaRider22]

Haha Nice! Just make sure you don't put it on when the bike is hot. That "cover" will be permanently on there :-p

[silent89]

hahah thats my cover thats just hanging there. i eventually just got campus bike patrol to cut it off for me. you couldve just used my cover lol.

[skfcheng]

Oh dang.. haha.. I always wondered why there was a cover and no bike.. :-p
