Protecting the floor

[dan filipi]

Now that I have room in the driveway, I can start on my garage spring cleaning so the bike needs to move out there.
My bike drips some so I need something to lay down under it and still work on it.

Carpet is nice to work on but if it gets wet it's a mess.
Maybe a 1/4" sheet of 4x8 masonite?
There's also construction ram board.

Any other ideas?

I like a regular cheap tarp ...with like rubber door mats for center stand and one for each side of the bike to sit on ....

You could go to an rv repair shop and see if they will sell or give you some of the material they put under
the motor homes for sound deading I got some from a friend that works for one and it is great for working on
and it just wipes clean and it is strong

There's also corrugated plastic that is like regular cardboard. If you can find some it works real nice.

If you're just concerned with catching drips, Autozone has metal drip pans. They're about 2' x 4' with a 1/2" lip all the way around.

I used concrete sealer which makes a clear coat on the concrete that is easy to clean and is non-skid!

+1 with Gerry and the sealer

Home Depot sells the corrugated plastic by the plexiglass. Runs about $7.50 a sheet.

I got this in my garage. Is easy to clean and is always shiny. :good:

I think I may use the sealer. That sounds like the hot ticket :thank_you:

Why? A little fresh oil once in a while is good right? :smilie_happy:

Hah yep :smilie_happy:

I had a 77 dodge tradesman van with a 400cid.
Burned and leaked a quart each fill up.
I never changed the oil filter and still got 330,000 miles out of before the timing chain was so loose it skipped teeth.
If I'd put a new chain on it'd probably still be on the road today.

I had a few of those :smilie_happy: :smilie_happy: :whip: :mrgreen:
