bike cover?

[Robert Haller]

I keep a bike cover on my bike and it's under a carport. After a couple of heavy rains here I have noticed water condensation on the bike when I take off the cover. Bearing in mind that it is under a carport, which is better for the bike...to cover it so that it is less exposed but may trap moisture, or leave it uncovered so it's more exposed but can dry off quicker? I'm concerned cause I noticed some chrome around the handlebars is starting to pit or discolor. Thanks for any input.

Robert I like the half covers, keeps dust and rain off the bike yet allows plenty of circulation. Takes very little room to stow, and helps keep curious hands off of it when traveling.

I used to keep my bike covered and found it stayed nicer if I allowed for more circulation. The cover went to the floor so I trimmed it at almost axel height. I just put it on the bike and with the bike on the certerstand walked around it with a sissors and cut it shorter. No more bugs and spiders.
