I have been using a large tent like this for 6+ yrs now (Goldwing) - I LOVE MINE ... and I put a TARP over the top - put boards on bottom to keep OFF the ground - - the large tarp protects the whole tent canvas from deteriorating - and it keeps the snow off mine up in the mountain where I live and get a lot of snow-sleet-rain ... rdie safe
What are u saying at 12:39? I tried to put my bike inside one of these and realized cant cover it because of wind shield and rear-view mirrors. Seems like I have to remove both because height of cover's opening is not enough for Kawasaki versys 300 lol
I bought a 'Bike Barn' in 2016. I read a number of reviews on various Bike covers of this type. I finally settled on the afore mentioned....What a mistake that turned out to be ... because it rotted within two years. I live in Spain, where, to be fair it's a lot sunnier than Canada where the 'Bike Barn' is made. Its info sheet says it is UV protected...that turned out to be absolute bollox. Also their customer service is rubbish. Sending them photographs of the so called UV protected cover was of no use, they never replied .... cannot say I was that surprised really.... they weren't interested... Since then a friend gave me an Armadillo cover.... he sold his motorcycle...this has proved to be far superior in its UV protection. It is now five years old, and although faded shows no sign of rotting. One thing though the Bike Barn did have a superior steel frame .. the Armadillo is quite flimsy in that respect. All in all the Armadillo has proved to be a better unit, and a lot cheaper.. conclusion...if you live in a sunny climate don't buy a 'Bike Barn'

Oh, so these types of shelters dont actually fold flat onto the ground. Would be nice if they lay flat on the gorund so that they are kindo invisible when not in use.
As retailers of the Armadillo shelters we might be seen as biased here, but most other shelters out there just aren't built to the same quality as the Armadillo. That's feedback from our customers
They can take a strong battering from the wind as the frames are built well but making sure you've got them on a flat surface helps stop any wind getting under and doing any damage
What ever exhaust you currently have on the GSXR, BJ, it sounds lovely seeing as I heard your when you were 2 cars back today! Although I reckon elbandito was riding seeing as he overtook me in a 30 whilst i was doing 30!! Soft tops are great for waving at people. hehe.
I used this vid as a buying guide and now I don't want one. Looks very flimsy and wouldn't take a scrote more than 1second to gain acsess to your bike with a Stanley knife. I'll keep looking thanks guys
