The Bike Bubble
Here’s a thing for your Christmas wish list, especially if you own a classic motorcycle; the Bike Bubble.
It’s made in Salford, England and designed by the Carcoon company, who have been making market-leading classic car protection for some 20 years now.
The Bike Bubble works on the same principles, filtering the moisture and any nasty little gremlins out of the air which might attack the precious motorcycle parked in your garage. insidebikes saw a CBX1000 which had been sat in its bike bubble for a decade, and it still looked like a brand new 1979 Honda.
Another neat touch is that the Bike Bubble also trickle-charges your battery whilst it is connected, all for around 1p of electricity per day.
Many people think that keeping a classic bike in a heated, or insulated garage is good enough to preserve it. But it is possible that the extreme temperature changes of the seasons, the variable humidity and the microbes which fly around the atmosphere, will conspire to slowly eat into your treasured classic machine. Things like exhausts can rust from the inside out, with corrosion unseen for years - nasty!
The Bike Bubble filters the air constantly, so your bike is being protected, plus the strong plastic bubble stops the odd accidental knock or scrach happening, should random family members decide to carelessly rummage for bicycles, garden tools or ladders in your shed or garage.
The standard Bike Bubble costs £194.76, including the recent VAT reduction, whilst the Supersize model for Gold Wings, Harley Electra Glides etc, retails at £213.00.
