Up here in the Pacific NW, I start to worry if my bike spends too much time in the sun! Does anyone know of some good motorcycle sunscreen?

Seriously though, your bike will be fine. I wouldn't cover it when wet though.

Dam got my leg wet from the bike again. It needs to stop raining one day and I could clean my bike alittle bit. OH forget that on a sunny day I can ride with all the poser that come out to play and learn how to ride all over the again.

must be nice to be so much better than everyone else... why bother hanging out here with all the posers when you could be out riding in a blizzard?

I think it's ruined. Once they get wet, you have to throw them away. No one has ever brought one back to life again once it has gotten wet.

The 02 Ultra in my sig. was ridden for 10 days, and 1700+ miles, in mostly heavy rain the FIRST two weeks that I owned it. It never did melt. You should be OK!

when i was growing up we always had harleys and we always lived in an apartment or a duplex and there was always a harley in the kitchen with a pie pan under it to catch the drips. i was 12 ,b4 i knew a harley wasnt a kitchen appliance. you gotta worry about theft also, the rain can mess up your fusses, dry them and put dialectic greas on them.

Maybe I should cover mine while riding in the rain. I would hate for it to get wet. I heard that they don't run when wet and you have to trade it in once it happens.
