Quality bike cover?

[Garandman]

Congrats on the new 1199 Panigale. Mine should be in within the next week or two. As for bike covers, I've used an oversized American flag since the days of my 998S Bostrom. It's soft (duck canvas/cotton), heavy duty, and breathable (so no moisture collects underneath, even if you cover your bike after a damp ride). Not sure what the cost was since it was a gift from a neighbor, but not nearly as expensive as prices listed for other covers.

Laying an American flag on anything but the coffin of a dead serviceman also violates the U.S. Flag code.

Didn't know that a Flag Code even existed and certainly didn't mean any disrespect.

Chuck, please stop using the flag in this way. It is a desecration.

If the flag is serviceable, please fold it up to use as a flag. If it is not serviceable, you can drop it off with any American Legion or VFW post. Most towns also have a flag officer (usually also the Veteran's Agent) who will take it from you and dispose of it properly.

U.S. flags are not just thrown away. The blue field is cut away from the stripes, and then the two pieces are burned.

Local Boy Scouts will take care of it for you too.
