Default Who covers their bike while at work?

How many people cover their bile while they're at work. I take very good care of my bike but I don't cover it while I'm at work. I'm careful not to park it under trees and such, but I've never covered it.
What do others do?

I cover it even though we have a shed for parking them at work. I work in a chemical plant...enough said.

I cover mine so that it isn't obvious that its a Harley. It also stops people from wanting to sit on it.[>:]

i dont, but have been thinking about doing it next season. At my work place (electroplating plant) by the end of the day it has a powdery white dust on it . Being a black bike its seen easily. I like looking out the window of my office and seeing my bike all day thou. So, i usually just detail dust mop it when i get home.

I have a spot in the shop at work. I put down that black and yellow tape around it and if anyone enters the area they, well they don't enter the area.[sm=crossbonesgif.gif]

I don't work but, if I did, I have a cover and I would use it.

Never cover at work only when parkedat home. It's a pain the the a$$ during the spring with all the pollen on it. But that just gives me another reason to clean it. I like to give the "less fortunates" an opportunity to see a REAL motorcycle. Plus I enjoy glancing out at it once in a while.

I park mine a few feet from the back door of our building and cover it all except for that big 200mm rear tire and license plate.Seeing that big fat sinister lookingtire is just enough of a tease to drive me crazy,but I like it that way.
