Hi All

Going to Scotland in a week or so and will be taking a bike. There won’t be space in the car so going to use my tow ball mounted rack. Normally only take bikes a relatively short distance on this and am slightly concerned with the amount of salt and general road cack the bike will get on it when subjected to 400+ miles on the back of the car.

Does anybody know of a cover that is robust enough to take the battering of a motorway journey and protect the bike from the worst of the elements

Any help greatly appreciated

Cheers

Ken

The Fiamma motorhome ones are’nt too bad.

diesel soot isn’t good for your discs.

Crap I’ll have to sell my car too 🙄

I’ve had tow-bar racks for years, never even worried about it – in fact sometimes the rain cleans the bikes a bit.

think it will add massively to the wind resistance and put a lot of strain on the bike rack fixings (depending on type)

My bike is generally cleaner after a good motorway “wash” on the back of the car………. 😉

Carrier bag over the saddle seems popular with a lot of people.
