[QUOTE="Redfish Hunter, post: 1124787, member: 28773"] I agree with Old Guy about not covering the bike. Road grime will get under the cover and then the cover will turn into sandpaper against the paint. As the cover flaps in the wind, you have effectively installed a belt sander against your bike. I think that trailering in the rain is worse than riding the bike in some ways. The bike is actually following closer to the vehicle than most of us would ride in slippery, wet conditions. The grunge that is thrown up by the vehicle is that much closer. Yuck. I HOPE that you are not just a troll because my first response was to tell you that we don't trailer FJRs. If Yamaha had designed these bikes to be trailered they would have installed good tie down points on the bike. Kind of like Harley Davidson... [/QUOTE]
