Well I had to get up very early this morning to come into work because of some computer worm...  :x  When I went outside low and behold my bike was without its blankie!     Someone stole my freaking cover!  The bike is fine for what I could see (it was 4:45am and very dark).  
Whoever took it is an idiot.  I was thinking of buying a new cover because mine was in such bad shape.  Had a good size tear in it and everything.  Why would someone take a cover and leave the bike?  I'm so confused and grateful!  The only thing I am super glad about is I had had the side panels off and I put it back together last night.  I figure if I hadn't of done that then my seat would have been gone too.  

So- I am in the market for a new cover.  What brands do you guys have and what size did you buy?

I am glad my shed is almost finished... this is ridiculous!    

Dam!  Makes ya wish for the old days when "horse thieves" were shot on sight!! :guns:  :guns:

Sorry to hear that  Well at least someone stole an old crappy cover instead of a new one.

At least they stole the old one. Make sure to lock it up to the bike. Makes it much harder to steal. I lock the bike to a ring I shot into the concrete, and I run the cable through the grommets on cover.

hehehe.. the RPC bug got ya ..

I patched mine in time, funny the patch was out for a month and yet windows update didnt have it. I usually check every week to make sure things are patched.

I didnt have to worry but I still patched it, I am behind a firewall.

Computer worms...Bike cover thieves...What's this world coming to? Argh!   :x  
Glad the bike's intact. I got a msg from our Network Admin first thing this morning about the infamous Worm and had to bullet-proof my PC posthaste.
As far as a new bike cover is concerned, I got a really good deal through RideGear (ridegear.com). My cover was only $20.95. I ordered it in Feb. of this year. I got a Large. It fits the GS perfectly. Price is still only $20.95.
