Default Parking Pad/Mat

Anyone use a parking pad or mat similar to the snap lock under their scoot in the garage? Good/bad? Any other preferences or products?

I leave mine on the J&S Jack. Can roll it around while it's on it with no problem.

Seems like overkill. I'm not sure what good it does. I have an old rug where I park on the garage floor, it's for those times I'm working on the bike so I'm not directly on the concrete.

I bought about 10' of 4' wide heavy duty rubber from a roll. Has a kind of chequer plate grip pattern on it. It was pretty cheap and my garage floor is kind of powdery concrete so it made perfect sense.

Half of my garage is matted.

Not only do I park the bike on it but I use the other part of the area for kicking back and enjoying life.
