ABSTRACT:
A top flexible rectangular shaped sheet shelter for motorcycle, moped, bicycle or the like narrow profile vehicle can quickly be erected to protect such a narrow profile vehicle from the weather elements. The protective rectangular shaped sheet has an opposed pair of sheet lengths and an opposed pair of sheet sides. A first linear rod wall mount, equivalent to the length of a parked motorcycle, moped, bicycle or the like profile vehicle is secured on the exterior wall of a house, recreational vehicle (RV), a standard motor vehicle garage, fence or the like. The detachable wall mount can have a simple sheet element which can be a film cover of plastic sheet, or an alternatively spring loaded roller shade sheet, disposed on a tubelike container. The sheet shelter element can be a foldable plastic film sheet or a waterproof woven fabric tarpaulin cover sheet, forming a tent-type protective structure against the climatic elements of rain, snow and hail. Separate first and second pivotal support rod elements are each singly disposed at the two opposed terminal ends of the length of plastic or tarpaulin sheet, and are pivotally connected to a third ridge pole rod element extending the length of the tarpaulin sheet. The third ridge pole is connected at opposed second two support rod terminals to the first two pivoted rod elements, forming a U-supporting frame for the flexible tarpaulin sheet which covers the motorcycle or the other narrow width vehicles. A fourth rod element is disposed and secured to the tarpaulin sheet opposed length at the second edge length opposed to the tarpaulin edge length secured to the exterior wall of a house, RV or the like. The weight of the fourth rod, when draped over the third cross rod, secures the tarpaulin in a protective sloped tent type cover over the vehicle. Second and third plastic sheets or tarpaulin covers can be connected by zipper, Velcro, or grommet and button fastenings to the top shelter cover sides, providing complete cover for the narrow profile vehicle.
