Keeping Your Chrome Shiny

Friday, August 28th, 2009

You just spent your Sunday afternoon detailing your bike. It looks beautiful and brand new; the chrome is shiny and the paint is bright and glossy. It would be a shame for all that work to go to waste. If you want to keep your bike looking pristine for longer, use a high-quality motorcycle cover to protect it.

Motorcycles are great vehicles when you truly want to experience the great outdoors. If you live in a house with a garage, then storing and protecting your motorcycle is an easy task to do. By storing it in the garage, you protect it mainly from weather damage. But what if you live in an apartment complex with no garage or a house with no garage? Fortunately you still have a choice when it comes to storing your motorcycle. Consider using a motorcycle cover for protection against the weather.

The first thing you need to realize about motorcycle covers is that not all covers are made the same. Most riders believe that you can go to your local retail store, buy a cheap motorcycle cover, and expect it to do and act the same as a cover you would by at a motorcycle shop. The truth of the matter is – you get what you pay for. In other words, if you pay for a cheap cover, then you get cheap quality and a cover that won’t last very long at all. However if you put the money into a good motorcycle cover, then chances are it will last you a long while.

Cheap motorcycle covers that you get from your local retail store are not much more than a plastic, royal blue, tarp cover. This type of cover will tie at the bottom of the bike with elastic hooks. A high-quality cover is custom fit to your motorcycle so it fits snuggly around the bike to protect it from weather and flying debris.

A lot of motorcycle covers are made to be resistant to water, as well as to repel water or to have UV protection to prevent the harmful rays from damaging the paint job on your motorcycle. We now offer a 100% water proof motorcycle cover. It will not only protect against water damage, but it is completely breathable which will allow any moisture to evaporate out. This prevents the bike from getting any rust and rot. The exterior of the motorcycle cover will keep water away while the interior of the cover lets the moisture escape to keep your bike dry.

The sun’s UV rays can damage any part of your motorcycle from your paint job to your leather seats to your hoses- the sun can even damage your leather gloves if you ride hard and ride every day. Motorcycle covers can protect against all of that. The cover can also keep your seat cool from the summer sun.

Not only does a cover protect again the sun’s rays and rain, but it can also protect again the snow and ice, bird feces, tree sap, tree branches that may fall, and may even protect your tires against a stray dog that decides to use the bathroom on your tires.

So what type of cover do you need to get? There are several companies that make a heavy-duty cover for your motorcycle. These types of covers may come with vents, heat shields, and a surface that is waterproof.

If you are a traveling motorcyclist, you can find covers that are still durable but not as heavy duty. These types of covers come with a bag in which the cover can be stored. Motorcycle Covers also protect your bike from potential thieves as they can’t see what is under the cover.

Pricing for motorcycle covers are relatively reasonable, ranging anywhere from forty to eighty dollars. But by putting the money into a motorcycle cover, your bike will have years of protection and will look as good as new for as long as you have your cover.

Protecting Against snow- a car cover works best

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

snow

A little grainy, but i am working on that. I am going to add video and images very soon to the website. I am more of a coder than i am a writer so please bare that in mind. I will tell the history of Empire some day. This picture was taken last winter at my grand fathers house. The cover did extremely well in the snow. This is a max car cover that i used. The only problem with snow is you have to take the cover off very slowly if it ices over. What you should do is heat up some water and pour it gently on the cover to melt the ice and take it off. Pretend you have a band-aid on your car. Be careful. If you have any request on what you want me to write about please email me at jake@empirecovers.com. I love complaints too. Those are the best.

Photo Shoot of a Cargo Van- 16 passenger with a car cover

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

cargo van

This was very impressive. We do take all of our own pictures and if any car cover companies try to steal our car cover pictures i will shoot them but this was our own photo shoot that we went to at a dealership. Just to show you how cool we are we actually do our own photo shoots. This is a great fit i got to say. This was not tampered with either. This is a real 16 passenger cargo van. This is not a custom car cover either. This is semi-custom that you can buy for as little as 49.99 but i would prefer you bought the max car cover that is a lot better. Any questions please email me at jake@empirecovers.com and send pictures. As the Bosstones say “pictures to prove it”. By the way my designers are probably going to kill me for posting these images online. I do what the people want. I am the boss but the looks they give you when you do something stupid like post pictures online for people to see and steal they get a little annoyed because we want to be the only people who have these pictures online. Please do not steal them. GRRRRRR,
Jake

My Car Covered

So i felt like a hypocrite the other day. i do actually keep my car covered as much as possible. I am using the ultimate cover because it was what was lying around the office that day and i felt like it was a very good car cover. It’s a pretty good fit. The reason i usually do not have it covered too is because i also have a bike rack on the back of my car. I like to bike around philly as much as possible. I am not saying you can’t have a car cover if you have a bike rack, i am saying i love my bike a lot. I actually use the VIP motorcycle cover to protect my bike and my wifes bike while we do not use it. I am not using this to advertise my website. I have a new kid coming soon in November and my wife didn’t want me putting the kid in the loft next to the wedding gifts we don’t use. The kid gets the second bed room and my bike gets the balcony. I do feel very secure that the bikes will be safe under the VIP motorcycle cover. If i was bigger hore i would start telling you about my wifes company that she works for where she gets all of her maternity clothes. O dam i did it again. O well have a nice day
