How's that bubble hold up when you're doing about 75 mph on the freeway?

How do you clean the bubble (with water or the "dry rub" method)?  [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif]

Exactly!!! Motorcycles are meant for riding only time for putting them on display is when they become antiques and are worth more to be displayed then ridden.

I think the bubble works for a guy that is out to sea for weeks or months at a time and has no choice but to have the bike parked.

Guess it's all in where you put the emphasis D00d.  Lord knows he needs to be careful.  People might be talking about him behind his back just for starting a thread.  No, wait; not here.  We all love each other around here  [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif] .

Okay....   laugh if you will.  Here's my call on the whole bubble thing.....  I'm a woodworker.  I make a LOT of sawdust.  I'm a biker.  I have a very nice bike.  It sits in my shop/garage.  With me and my woodworking stuff.  Close, so I can see it when I can't ride it.  So I cover it with sawdust a lot of the time.  dammit!  think drink think drink think  dirnk think dnirk....   BUILD!   The bike sits up front by the wall, (pretty much out of the way and easy to get in and out,,,, ssoooooooooo, I build a ventilator fan into the wall to keep the dust blown away while I'm working.  Blows air in form outside, and keeps the dust off.  NICE  Did I mention I have an old degree in electrical engineering....sooooo, I put together a little electro-optical sensor to see when there is stuff i the air and it will automatically turn itself on.  COOL!  NICE!!!  So a coupla weeks ago I meander in to the shop cuas eit's a crappy day, cold, nasty, wet... to see my bike dripping in .....stuff.   Best I can figure is, a squirrel nest or something made up of a LOT of wet leafy stuff falls from the maple out front on to the cage that the fan is in, sniffs that nice warm shop air and makes steam/fog, autoswitch sees the drop in visibility, cranks up the fan to clear the air, thereby doing it's best impression of a deluxe sized shop version food processor, spews all this wet stinking chit all over the scooter and my nice shiny Oliver table saw, and eventually shuts down when it runs out of chit to fling through the proverbial fan!  dammit!  I'm bacfk to percale, and I now have a freshly patched hole in the wall of the shop[.  Any body got a bubble they'll sell me?
