So, the moral of the story is not to put a cover on your bike when it's windy & rainy especially if you are parking in a crowd? That's what I get when all is said and done. All of the other bikes are unscathed except those that were downwind of the covered bikes. An afternoon rain has never, ever hurt any bike.



No, I'm pretty sure my S4 caught on fire b/c it got rained on.

Egads. (You are kidding aren't you?) That reminds me of what my wife & I saw last weekend. At a local shopping mall a mommy-soccer van of some type caught fire sitting in the parking lot, burned to the ground and burned off the front of the SUV that was parked in front of it plus it burned off the side of a Lexus parked next to it. Imagine going into a mall, shopping and having a good time in general and coming out to find your car burned and it you had nothing to do with it except for parking it where you did? It all does blow.
No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

The things my nightmares are made of  [puke]
About the same time you're dragging your knees through a series of tight left-right-handers on Sunday afternoon, some guy in white shoes is sweating a 3-foot putt. Go figure.

lies!!  after i wrecked my bike, it was parked outside in the rain and the rain got down into the gauges and shorted out the immobilizer and my bike wouldnt start.  so i had to buy a new set of gauges and have a shop reprogram everything for me.  im sure i could have done it myself if i had known about the forum at the time.
