Advice on purchasing a scooter cover

Morning all.

I don't know much about motorcycles but figured this would be as good a place as any to ask my question.

Our household has recently picked up a 50cc Figera scooter/moped which as to be stored in the garden so I was wondering where in Dublin is a good place to pick up a good quality and hopefully afordable tarpaulin type cover for it??

When I searched the internet, Argos popped up with some flimsy example of one which seems to be for a tiny scateboard type scooter.

Also Micks garage, Amazon etc., have popped up as search results.

If anyone knows a local shop/warehouse where I could find something like this, of if anyonw has ordered one online and would recommend the website, then I'd very much appreciate it.

Thanks,

Briskit.

Generally any motorbike shop will sell a bike cover.
Where about are you living?

Well I have one of the argos covers, it was €15 iirc and I use it with a lidl/aldi cover. The two of them are perfect and have them on my fz6 for over a year now with no probs. I would not use one on its own but both together are fine.

Dublin City.

Thanks for all the replies. I remember Lidl/Aldi having tarps, but I also didn't need them at the time!!! Will look out next time.

€30 sounds pretty good for a cover, but may not be able to get out to CherryOrchard today... so may check out the bike shope near the Kevin St/Aungier St junction in town.. At least I have a ballpark figure of what they cost.

Micks Garage

Cheers.

Is it specifically a tarpaulin you want (as in the very heavy weaved plastic job) or a run of the mill bike cover? Seems overkill for a scooter to want a tarpaulin..... when any heavy duty motorbike cover would do fine. Again unless you need something specific.

Any old cover... just always call them tarps!
