Keep your scooter dry for under £5 (pic added)

I wasn't too sure what section to put this in but it's a bit of a handy hint so here goes. ;D

As soon as I had my scooter delivered I wanted to keep it covered from the elements so I trawled eBay and found a few plastic covers for around the twenty quid mark. I thought that seemed a bit steep for a glorified piece of polythene so I had a look in the Argos catalogue and they have a waterproof cover for the bargain price of £4.99. It easily covers up the whole of my Taishan Commuter.

My only gripe is although it has some velcro fasteners they don't quite reach far enough so the best way to secure it in place is to attach a couple of pegs to the numberplate and one to the front panel. In the morning the cover "should" still be where you left it. ;D



The cover is in the Bikes section of the catalogue, not the Motorcycle section.

I baught an Oxford bike cover from ebay for £15 unfortunately it doesn't exactly do what it say's on the tin, its not waterproof! size is medium but its still a bit on the large size.
