Keeping the dust off reminds me of a close friend that lived a few houses down from me (he had to move to another state to keep his job). My friend loved corvettes and he bought a new corvette every 2 years. He had another corvette that he drove everyday but the new corvette was only driven on special occasions. He kept the new corvette in the garage with a bed sheet over it to keep dust off of it.

When he went to sell his corvette in order to get another new one, he would advertise very low mileage, hardly driven and he would be telling the truth.

What has this got to do with bikes? Nothing, we old people like to reminisce sometimes.

However, the OP wanting to know what people, who have been riding a long time use to keep their bikes in top shape, is understandable. I like to know what other people use too.
