    The day will come, Paul, and it'll be there waiting for you.

    As for me, I have no such problem. You see, when one keeps buying bikes, there becomes a demand for endless covers in a multitude of varieties. Now, I'm no tuppenny toff or society fella, but a man just can't put an Aldi cover on an SP2, so I now have the opportunity of buying a 'signature' cover for my new gem.

    I think I might go the bespoke logo. I'm visualising a big 'HRC' because, as we've said many times, the HRC (as the fastest colour scheme) DESERVES an equally fast-looking cover.:cool::cool::cool:

    Damn, Lozzy. I've got a blow-up one of those - without the helmet, of course.

    I’ve had different covers over the years to keep the dust off my toys. Thought I’d best bite the bullet and get a quality one, tailor fit and hand/custom made to protect my pride and joy. Got a good deal through Bennett’s so no complaints at the price either (other half did) haha. Some sort of brushed cotton inner to stop scratches and breathable and it has made a difference and I know I won’t ding or scratch her walking past her in the garage! Only gripe was the 4 weeks wait

    Maybe I'm getting old but my first reaction wasn't innuendo, it was nice Schwantz. ;)

    I haven't seen that, Chris. Whereabouts? Hong Kong?

    Edited to say: Just Googled it. £125.00. That's a big ask. Might be nice, but not THAT nice.

    Just ordered my 'dustoff' cover with HRC logo.

    Soon I can put my sheets back on the bed. And if I'm feeling energetic, I'll even wash them first.:)

    Aldi one works fine for the garage btw. And a medium fits a blade perfectly. Some branches still have em in stock too. Perfect for the cash

    I am damn sure it's the same as the Oxford (which I have also). Both made in China with same pattern OR so precisely copied. I must confess though, with just one summer, the Oxford became very 'brittle'. Put my thumb through it when removing one day. It's now plastered with Duct tape.:)
