Is there anything I need to protect on the bike for the ride in the back of truck for 10 hours if its raining?

Pics to come =)

 

you can get a motorcycle cover if your worried but it wont harm anything really, somefolks ride in the rain all the time.....

 

I would advise against a cover while transporting it. The wind flapping the cover around may cause damage to the bike. Just wash it when you get home.

 

...I ride in the rain...lol...

 

I ride in the rain as well... you'll do more damage with a cover in an afternoon than the rain will do in a week of the heaviest rain you've ever lived through.

Seriously.

 

DO NOT put a cover on your bike when you transport it, the wind will slap the cover on your paint and it will eat your clearcoat if your lucky, your entire paint job if your unlucky.

 

i'll just add to it......


i ride in the rain all the time. wont hurt it a bit. enjoy the view in your rearview mirror!

 

A little water will not do any harm. Just think that your bike with get a good wash from it

 

Make sure the front of the bike is face the cab, otherwise you will lose your windshield in the drive. Happened to a friend not even two weeks ago. Didn't even ride it and broke his front end off.

 

Bad news, bike slipped in the back of the truck, didn't have it strapped down good and cracked the front fender, chipped the tank, and scraped the tail. =( First bike, within 5 minutes having paid for it. Oh well, it is still fast as HELL above 6k. Already bought the battery tender for it =)
