How do you keep your bike from getting dusty in the garage
« on: January 11, 2009, 10:10:52 PM »
My bike is in the garage and covered with a fabric cover and dust gets through the fabric and settles on the paint, has anyone figured out how to avoid this without a plastic cover that promotes rust in the winter.

No way really to keep your bike dust free in a garage. You'd have to have a special room with Hepa filters or a CBA setup for that. My advice is to buy a decent compressor and blow off the dust that finds it's way through your CVO Indoor cover.

I keep an oscillating fan blowing on the bikes all the time.  Never have a dust problem.   :2vrolijk_21:

If dust should settle...get that thing out and blow the dust off. I find most of it leaves somewhere around 80-90mph.

Are you using the CVO cover.  I've never taken mine out of the bag, and if it doesn't stop the dust, I guess I won't bother.  If you can find a way to keep the dust off, let me know so I can do the same on the car in my garage also.  I get pretty frustrated after spending all the time detailing my bike, and then by the next day, it's covered with dust.  I know part of my problem is that I almost always go in and out of my house through the garage.  Maybe if I'd learn to use my front door, I would have so much dust in the garage.  Or, you would always leave your bike with me and you'll never notice the dust.

Yup, it's true.  It's actually possible to outrun dust!  :orange:

Howie, if you play tic tac toe enough in the dust soon it'll be all wiped off.  You want to be X or O?  And whomever cheats Binx will cut them!

Miker has one for his Oldster in FLA but it's lousy for showing off the bike and difficult to get the bike in and out of.  It's way easier wipe the bike off once a month (need it or not) or just ride it in the rain to rinse the dust off.

Oh that was painful.  Like a dust worrier is going to ride in the rain :huepfenlol2: .

I find riding the bike and not letting it sit in the garage very long keeps the dust off...if you live in the cold climes, my advice would be to move south.    8) ::) :nixweiss:

The dust that gets throught the filter on the bubble is even more fine than regular dust, like talc, I quit on it. Addtional filtration would require a bigger fan as the the one provided is just a little biscuit fan and hardly adequate to inflate bubble from the get go..

The silver bike is much better at hiding the dust but being the wettest bike I have ever owned it usually gets rainwater rinsed every freaking time I ride it...

I just use compressed air on the Oldster before his weekly run.  The other bikes are now in the trailer and seem to stay dust free in there...

I am so confused.  So is moving south a fine idea?  Or is the dust fine?  Or even too fine?  Is too fine like double good?  Or like a high maintenance w... um, never mind.  And, why, now, am I suddenly hearing in my head one of the voices performing live and in concert "I'm too sexy for my shirt, too sexy for my dust, too se..."  Wait, dust....  where's Lyra?
