Park mine on a piece of indoor/outdoor carpeting. No slipping, no problem. I use a 6" square piece of plywood under the kickstand but probably don't need to. It's good to sit and lay on when doing minor maintenance/cleaning.

I have used indoor/outdoor carpet for years and not have any problems with the bikes sliping or moving around, I even use my motorcycle lift on the carpet with no problems.
With the lift you just can't roll the bike around but have never needed to move the bike once it is on the lift.

I'm not sure I'd take action based on replies from a woodchuck and a redneck. [sm=icon_cheers.gif]

Picked up a rubber HD mat at a local Wal-Mart type store for around 50 bucks.

This is the one I use:

Did my whole garage floor for $300 - especially good for protecting and cleaning up from the winter salt and slush that (usually) comes this time of year in Toronto. No problems with bike slipping or sliding (per earlier comment).

I have this in a 10'x22' section in the front of my garage and love it. Maybe some day I will be able to add more but this works great for now.


Ride Safe,

Mike
