Default Bike covers- Which one?

Just had my bike painted, and want to keep it covered while in the garage. Which one is a good choice?

This is the only cover I'll let touch my bike. The dust cover is super soft, pack away nicely and they fit great:

While in the garage I use a couple bedsheets. Don't waste your money on a cover. Just my
.02 cents.

thanks for the link, gpounder1. That company offers a sidecar cover, which I need.

Bought 2 twin XL size extra soft light blankets from Walmart. Less than $10 for both. Keeps all the dust off the bike while allowing air to circulate. Don't waste your $ on a bike cover for the garage.

I recently picked up an exigent cover, and I'm really pleased with it. Great quality, I'd buy another in a heart beat.

I thought about sheets or blankets, but wanted to hear from the experts.... looks like I'll be making a trip to Walmart!

You are not going to be protecting your bike from the "elements" in the garage, so bed sheets will work just fine... and it's a lot easier to put on and take off too!
