Just dropping a line from over the pond with some pics of my new Standard Bike Barn motorcycle cover. I have been using a throw over contact bike cover for years, they work well but are such a hassle for getting on and off. I've looked into cheaper, most probably inferior types of "fold over" covers but I'm pleased to say I opted to spend the extra cash on the best available on the market.

This was ordered on the Tuesday evening and arrived on the Thursday of the same week!

The frame took me 45 mins to erect with ease and if I wasn't such a plonker the cover would have gone on much easier if I wasn't a typical bloke and actually read the instructions and didn't try to put it on back to front.

As you can see from the pictures it fits my Buell X1 Lightning with plenty of room to spare.

I have also bolted it down with additional ballast of 2 steel bars cable tied to the base frame for extra security. It has been well tested to the elements as we've had 60mph winds with driving rain and it was rock solid.

I think this bike barn is absolutely brilliant! So quick and easy to use, thanks a million.

Dear Bike Barn People,
I looked for a long time for something that would cover my bike with out having to win the lottery to pay for it. I finally settled on the Bike Barn non contact motorcycle cover and went ahead and ordered one. I was expecting it to take a while to get to me and to my surprise my wife e-mailed me at work to say it had arrived after only a few days. I thought that I would leave it until the weekend to put it together,as reading other peoples messages it would take a couple of hours to put up.Only if you were an engineer I thought. Was I wrong or what. It was a nice evening and I thought I would look at the instructions in readiness for the big day. Two cups of tea later and hey presto, It was all done and dusted. Complete with Goldwing in nice and safe.

Many thanks for a terrific product. It used to be the bike that was the talking point of passers by, now it's the Barn.

Bike Barn is OK in ice storm
I can't believe that this bike barn was able to hold up under these conditions. Great product!!! My bike was untuoched and in perfect condition when I was finally able to get it out.

The big wind in Scotland...
Well I thought I would let you know how my bike barn faired through last nights storm of heavy winds in excess of 70mph gusts, the BBC reported gusts in this area much higher. Along with heavy heavy rain. Got home this afternoon and all was well, just had to re-adjust the velcro on the front for the first time since I got it in June. It is fixed to the patio by the securing plate and the two loops for the rear are in place also.
