Heyup , I've had lots of Oxford bike covers , the only one that actually works and lasts is the protex stretch .Tommy Tickle

Camera seems to produce good results, sound is crystal clear. My old Lexmoto relies on rust to prevent parts falling off😅

I feel for you. When I had 2 bikes, (I was selling one and shed was needed for something else), I got one of these covers with a frame that folds up to get bike out. I got a cheap pair of concrete lintols to bolt the thing to the deck, and there are side vents that let the damp get out. It worked out very well. I think it would work better than the oxford cover. The cover is sat in the small shed now, wrapped up, as current bike in the larger shed. 🙂 I live by the coast, 10 meters away, quick spray with fresh water, especially in the winter. Oh and such a lovely motorcycle, in the go cooler blue.

Can you send me the name of the cover ? Wind and salt water not a great combination

bike tents are quite good if you don’t have a shed or garage. I used one in Switzerland when we lived there, very useful and better than a simple cover.

On the disc point, I remember when Italian bikes used iron discs which went red rusty in 24 hours stood, which as you mentioned disappeared as soon as it was used 😊

I've had 2 Oxford covers, they're good but beware when using the clip underneath the exhaust that the exhaust will burn the strap. So I use a bungee cord to wrap around the middle. You can thank me later 😅

Great stuff Andy I have the same bike in candy red and silver, I really like the colour of your wheels do you know the colour code?

It's £11.50 off eBay for 250ml, it's quick drying and 8 year guarantee, I did it as I didn't want to have to strip the wheels and pay loads to get them painted. The grey colour was looking old and tired, I really cleaned them well and wiped them off with white spirit, I used a soft brush and love the way they look, I find the gold they use on most bikes is too yellow.
