ever since my mate told me that if your bike sits on hard ground,eg concrete,wooden floors,,, your tyres can develop flat spots,,,so now it lives on carpet

just wondered how many people do this or if they understand the benefits

A mate of mine is away for months at a time so has his bike up on stands front and rear, keeps tyre shape and more stable.

i think its quite approriate to use carpet , only cause im not allowed it inside the house ,
then id just need a single bed and park the bike next to it

I had a mate who had one of those terribly noisy (but fun on one wheel!) nifty fifties, it sat on concrete in a back shed for 3 years while he was on his OE and it had some horrendous flat spots on the tires!

Hence the Zong is on stands when off the road for more than a couple of days, or resting on underlay and arti-grass if its just overnight!!! (With a blankie to keep it snug...)

I don't think I would ever have the bikes still enough for long enough to need carpet to prevent flat spots. I think if that happened it would be time to give bikes away.

I'm overseas at the moment for a while. My bike is nicely tucked up in my bedroom at home, on the carpet.

Do you use shag pile?

[imdying]

Hell yeah, most of the garage is carpeted

[Swoop]

I find that the centre stand works quite well.
