At 47, my saying is I "should have" or "could have" if she didn't take most of what I had. :-) I got the kids and house though!

Beware of bare treated plywood when it's exposed. Slippery when wet!

Made for horse stalls - pretty sure it'll work for a human / bike

Won't warp / soak up water either

A horse stall thick rubber mat works great ....like ghost said, conforms to irregular ground and you can easily clean, I had one in the bed of my Ram 1500 kept everything in place..

im in the same boat as OP, but here in Kerrville, TX we have black powdery dirt. I store my wide glide on the side of the house we rent behind the front 6ft fence, under a freestanding metal roof lean-to i constructed.

im planning on a couple 4x8 sheets of treated plywood with treated 2x4 under for supports as a parking/wrenching area... when it rains the bike actually sinks about an inch into the ground. both the tires and jiffy stand.

Yep. I live on a caliche ridden hill and hardly any soil accept around my trees. We have some extreme geography here in Tejas!

Thanks again for all the suggestions. Think I'm adding a thick rubber mat to my list.
