RE: flat spots
If you can periodically roll the bike back and forth a bit it's not an issue. I'd worry more about leaving the tires sitting on a concrete surface, put some wood, rubber, carpet scraps, etc. under them if thats the case.

RE: flat spots
does your car get flat spots in the tires if you don't drive it for a month? maybe if you still have bias ply tires like the super swampers on my land cruiser. even if the bike tires did get flat spots it's a quick burnout to being round again.

RE: flat spots
I've experienced flat spots on large, heavy motorhomes that were parked for extended periods of time, especially in the cold weather. However, after running 10-20 miles they warmed up enough to return to their original shape.
