Bike cover/tent

[VAL. H.]

Hi Guys.

Do any of you guys remember the car/bike cover that was basicaly an easy to erect, tent that worked in the same way as a pram hood?
It folded flat on the floor when not in use, and when you parked your car/bike you just lifted the end up and over the car/bike in the same way as the afore mentioned parm hood.
Once up it looked like a flat sided dome. A little canvas garage type thing.

Anyone remember them? Can you still get them? If so what are they called and where can I get them from?

I want one for ocasional use for the 1200, and my father wants one for his car.

Just spoken to a guy who used to be a dealer for these tents and he now warns folks off buying them as then tend to dry out and crack if exposed to the sun

I know what your saying, uv's are the end of alot of covers. Maybe they're made with uv stabalised material these day's?

I think they're still worth looking into, though you may well be write. Thanks for the warning Do you have any other info, like a product name or maker?
