November riding in Northern Utah in the rain.

Today was a picture perfect Salt Lake City day, it was warm and sunny and clear this morning. For winter it was warm about let say about 45 degrees, very warm for November 13th. The was shinning which made it feel like it was 10 degrees warmer, and the blue sky was clear. Very nice, I could not pass up chance to take the Road King to work. I jumped on the motorcycle and I was off. I loved it, I immediately felt cool (cold but I was being way cool junior), and excited to be free on my Harley. I was cautious the roads are full of sand a dirt. I definitely got some wind in my hair. Lunch was even nicer, wow for a November day this was a not an ordinary day. I cannot remember any days like this in the past years, I have had put my bike to rest well before Halloween other years, except the one year I rode to work on Halloween in the snow, as the motorcycle and gear were my costume. Well anyway after lunch I got back on my Road King and off to work I went. All was well until I came out of the building in the Dark and o 6 pm. It was raining uggg, and wet end to a fantastic day ride. I certainly can’t complain but sunny and warm beats cold, dark and raining any day.

So tonight I started looking for a cover. Wow did I ever find a deal, or it sure seem like it to me. This looks like a full size cover, that is light enough to be able to carry it around with out it being to big and in the way all the time plus it's water resistant.

This cover is only 28 bucks, plus shipping, which brings the total to about 37. I think this sound pretty good, I know I sure could have used it today. It would have saved me the extra hour it will take in out in the cold trying to get the rain and grime off my bike before I store it for winter.
