    I'm SO ashamed!
    at least my seat is in the house, and I do have a small tarp on it!

      Yup

      All three of mine are out in the snow, looking a lot like that one right now. I had to do some work on my sons truck which ended up taking a couple weeks. Now it is my trucks turn for new goodies so they will be out a bit longer. Dumb-azz me put the cover on the parts bike as it went out first and the others are naked in the snow. Sposed to get nicer here in the next few days so I will be getting more covers on them. But like you I am embarrassed to see tehm out there like that.

        Ahhh, Renegade... the ol' plastic over the door trick. I remember it well.

        We rarely get more than a light dusting of snow.

          Since it is pushing 70 here today, the only thing I can figure is you guys used way too much soap in your wash buckets!! Rinse em off with cold water before it dries and leaves streaks.

                WOW you guys need to cover those bikes. S**t even an old bed sheet followed by 4 mil poly would do it.
