    my whole garage is done covered with marine carpet, so its fine for getting wet and stains come off pretty easy.

    Of course its on carpet. Much better for my knees when I'm praying to the bike.

    It's also rumoured to be better for the bike because it absorbs some of the moisture which would otherwise condense on the cold metal, not sure about that but it saves my knees and the bike deserves it eh.
    Oh bugger

    I just pump the tyres up occasionally, that seems to work too.

    Sometimes I use an old sheet though as there is a spider lives above my bike somewhere and dumps crap on it. The sheer volume of his doings indicates that the spider may not be small so I haven't made any attempts to meet it in person.

    Yes, I have a square of old carpet on the floor. It makes kneeling down for maintainence less painful on the knees. And cleaner. I have a large supply of carpet so when it gets dirty I just throw it away.

    trust me - you are just making a rod for your own back .....
    from 'leaving the radio on' it works thru 'bike's choice' to each bike having to have their own ipod .............. and THAT way lies MADNESS!!
