Think where you live has an impact on how much moisture you suffer from too. Where I lived in Scotland was notorious for rainfall (over twice the rainfall of where my Mum lives in Solihull according to the Met Office) and I was forever fighting with water, condensation in the conservatory, clothing going mouldy when hanging in a completely dry attic purely because of the damp atmosphere, the SV dripping with water in a dry concrete garage, etc, etc. I could wash and chamois leather the bike, put it away in the garage, and 24 hours later it was dripping wet again.

Dizzy will have a similar problem in Leeds.

Well aye, but here is the epicentre of the sh1thole of life.

As Peg says, as soon as you hit the sign for the town, a big black cloud appears and the rain just never stops!

But not as much of a sh1thole as Batley!

im in a similar position. no garage no room to have a shed etc etc. had the r&g covers oxford but by far the best and value for money is the drytight one ive currently got. Yes you will get moisture but my bikes been on for 2 years so far. It also means they dry out a little in the wind. that doesnt happen in winter tho!

Isn't that against the rulings of the European Courts of Human Rights?

Is she constantly wiping the moisture away?
