Anyone here cover their bikes while storing indoors?

What do you think about what a friend made me recently
I used to use a white bedsheet, then a friend who used to make his living making boat covers whipped this thing up for me in about half an hour. It's thick polyfleece, really soft. Better than a white sheet and great for when the kids are banging their bikes around in the garage. Keeps the scratches away. Pretty cool for a freebie. I've looked for something like this but it seems nobody sells it, only the weatherproof kind that doesn't breathe or made out of thin nylon material. Anyone here have the Ducati cover, and how thick/breatheable is it?

I don't have the Ducati cover but I do cover my bike. I picked up a generic lightweight cotton cover. Cost was like $20. Five years later it's still doing a good job. Keeps the dust off everything.

in an old house of mine, the garage was less than stable as far as temperature and usually erred on the "cold as faaack" side...so at one point, I went to Overstock dot com and got a heated blanket and layed that over and around the bike with it on low along with the bike plugged in on the tender....

Not so pretty flowered sheet covers mine in my unheated garage.
That cover looks damn nice you got there, hell of a gift idea.
Not sure if it would be a big seller tho.

I don't cover mine when storing it indoors, but for me indoors means in the kitchen. I like to stare at it and think of spring.

I use an old sheet set. I would love to buy a $200 cover but just can't justify it when these old sheets work great.

I knew it reminded me of something!!!!! It's a bike snuggie! I called it a frock once but snuggie it is. Damn right people will buy anything, my stepmother proves the point. If there were no QVC she'd be in a mental depression.
