Bike cover in a garage?

On my first Monster I had an all weather cover because I didn't have a garage. Now I have a garage and was wondering how many of you cover your bike even though its in a garage?

I don't now, but I have used a cover in the garage. It keeps the dust off. My covers rotted away and I didn't replace them.
When outside if the cover is left on for long periods in damp environments it traps moisture. On good days one should take the cover off to let the bike breath and dry well.
And of course, if you cover the bike inside the garage, you will be deprived of seeing it as you pass though the garage.

I cover mine in the barn sometimes if the bats are sleeping overhead.
It saves cleanup.

I keep mine covered in the garage because of the dust. This year is worse than usual, since we are re-doing the basement (=much more dust) and the garage leads directly into the basement. I do uncover from time to time to check the trickle charge connections and , well, just look at it.

I don't cover mine because dust is a crucial component of the protective filth layer.

The garage *is* a bike cover.
It'll be fine.

I'll cover it if I plan on not using it for a period. If I'm riding it everyday I don't put it on.

And you've got some bigger issues than dust right now, isn't that right?

If your garage has windows or glass panes you may want to cover your bike from the eyes of those with no need to know...
