    Hi Mike

    No idea about bike covers, have thought of getting one myself though.

    I am fairly local though (Cambridge is about 15 mins away and a mate lives in Needingworth) so I'd be happy to meet you for a drink and welcome you to the area.

    Just bought recently the Hein Gericke heavy duty one for £39.90 i think and it is a real good one
    They call him "Ze Quiet one"
    I listen to what the rice crispies tell me to do

    My hein gerick was a large and it fits the @ well
    Just a warning. I presume your bike lives outside? Well mine does (got no garage ) be carefull where you park it with regards of the wind.
    Not 10 minutes ago my @ was blown of its side stand straight over
    No damage done,my crashbars saved the bike(again ) best money i ever spend.
    Just make sure you park your bike in a protected spot cause the cover acts like a sail

    I use the extra large Oxford storm one - very tough, big enough to cover bike and top box, soft inside - no scratches - breathable and some straps to go under the bike and vents to allow chains, etc. to go through. £65 I think I paid. Very good but too big to take with me if I'm anywhere overnight
