Default Why?

Cleaned my bike up real good Friday for a ride with my wife on Saturday. Got called to work, so no ride(did get to take her to lunch, though). Went to work again Sunday, came back Monday night. While I was out of town, we get hit with 50mph winds and now my black road king is light tan.

Why does the wind only blow dust on the bike, but never blows any off?

It's the law of the land. How can dust blow UP under a cover?

I imagine it's the same laws of physics that cause a cold drink left too long to seem warmer than air temp, and a hot drink left too long to seem colder than room temp. [8D]

Same thing happened to me on Sunday. Cleaned her up real good. Went to a bike show and then a deck party. Came home and there was sooooooooooo much dust and pollen on the bike it looked like I hadn't touched it. [:@]
