F*&#%#$@ken rain,,,

[grouser]

Dunn get me wrong, I'm a wildland FF and LOVE the rain in the winter to keep the fire season in check during the summer,,,, but my scooter is constant0ly covered in a light mist-like layer of water ,,, even on the dry days with high RH,,,,, is there a cover or trick I can do to keep it dry,,,, I'll bring the SOB in the living room if I can't find a solution
PS; it's kept in my barn now, covered but open to the air

I don't believe that Harley Bubble will help in humid air,

That Bubble has a fan and you'd be constantly replenishing moist air.



I believe I'd get me about 8-10 $5 big size silica gel packs,

then sew silica gel packs into 4 corners of couple of big towels

and get into the habit of rotating them thru the oven about every week,



a couple of hours at 240F and they're good as new. I'd set up a specific place

where I was always going to park, put a larger plastic barrier on the ground

that I'd pull up and around the bike and pretty much seal it in airtight,

when I was ready. I'd park the bike, cover it with the gel pack drape

and a soft dry blanket then a first plastic layer hung down from on top,

then pull up the outer plastic layer and seal it. Re-wrap it in freshly cooked

gel packs every week, on a dry day. Maybe get a cheap weather station

with a remote probe to check humidity inside the wrapper.

Lol, that is funny chit.

Dunno if you have stored the bike for winter or if you are still riding it? If you are storing it for a couple months then maybe something I learned about from a local old timer who's vintage BSA looks like the day he took it home new. Every winter when he stored it he gave it a thorough cleaning (never with a hose), made sure it was bone dry, then covered the entire bike (anything that was metal) in a very thin film of plain old motor oil. In spring he took a dry shop towel and wiped it down and got as much off as he could. I would imagine the first few rides of the season were a bit smelly from residual oil burning off but I'll tell you, it certainly did work.

There wasn't a single spec of rust anywhere on that bike. Not on the frame, spokes, any chrome, nowhere.

Thats gotta be the best Christmas tree/Hannukah bush on the block.

And it saves a tree. I like it.
