I always take a cover.

 

I never take a cover. Just park your bike under the awning in the unloading area of the motel/hotel where you're staying. I've never been refused permission to park in that area.

 

I always take the cover.

Keeps things better all the way around.

 

Yepper,I always take a cover and a cable lock.
I carry a lightweight cover (non harley) that packs very small.
For the reasons mentioned above.
Keeps eyes off the bike and protect from rain/dew.

 

I always take my cover along..

 

I have 80,000 miles on my FLHTCI, and I've ridden all over the country without ever using a cover. The paint and chrome still look like new. I think part of travelling is taking only what you need. A cover takes up a lot of room that could be better used. If you have to use a cover, I have heard that using a Goldwing cover is a great anti-theft deterent.

it is going to get dirty, don't bother with a cover

 

Yep, take my no logo Harley cover. If it rains have heard of complaints about the guages fogging, just some insurance. Doesn't take up much room either, folds flat, I use those bags that you put clothes and stuff in, then roll it up to get the air out and seal it before unrolling it, kinda vacuum packing, all your stuff is half the size without the air.

 

Bingo!

 

Yep what he said!
