I remembered that someone told me that motorcycles have specialized paint that doesn‘t let water ruin it. I just want to get a general consensus about whether or not I should cover my motorcycle all the time. Because I‘m taking it to college and we don‘t have garages or anything. Just the wide open nature.
I don't think you're going to find a practical way to keep your bike protected from the elements at college unless there is a bicycle shelter you can park it in (one of the advantages of 50cc and 125cc bikes) so you'll just have to keep cleaning and drying it back at home - assuming you don't live on campus. Spray a little WD-40 on the metal parts to help protect the bike but be careful not to get it anywhere near the brakes or tyres. The only way to properly protect a bike is to keep in a dry, warm, well-aired garage, plastic motorcycle covers are good but they can trap moisture underneath and humidity can rise upward from the ground attacking the finish.
