I keep a motorcycle outdoors under a waterproof cover, but noticed that with morning dew the bike is still noticeablely wet on the inside of the cover.
Meanwhile a buddy has his bike in a plywood shed that is by no means air tight but has 4 walls and a roof, but no insulation or air handling fans/AC and he says dew is never an issue..what’s the difference?

Your buddy’s bike gets just a little wet from dew inside the shed. Dew hundreds of feet above the shed fall on the shed roof and then rolls off instead of hitting your buddies bike.
Bikes outside get wetted by the full hundreds of feet thick column of air worth of dew.
Your buddies bike gets a tiny bit wet from dew that forms inside the shed, but there is so little water that you don’t notice. The roof of the shed diverts all the rest.
