And I am sure it can be connected to an inert gas supply for inflation.
Ive seen this thing before....actually I dont think its too bad of an idea for a couple of reasons...1) In the non-riding season I put a cover on my bike & somehow the kids still managed to scratch my windshield. & 2) Even when covered it still needs to be washed completely by the springtime. This would eliminate both problems.

and 3 when you take the bike out of it, you can rent it to Michael Jackson to offset the cost of it.

I hear ya and totally agree. I did a lot of years when I worked 14 to 16 hrs a day 6 days a week. Back then I rode to work and on Sunday and such. People have to deal with life and it sometimes gets in the way of riding and fishing.....which shows how screwed up life is <smile> . It isn't about miles but a persons being willin to ride. Lot's of folks are willin but just can't get shook loose to do so. But thier day will get here like mine has. The poor slobs that buy a bike as a staus symbol are sad but they serve a useful purpose as well. I have several partners that have gotten great deals on tricked out low milage bikes from such folks.
Ride Free.....

Thumbs up Feel free to ride it

hahaha Good One I like it!

I think it is truly a personal decision as to whether someone rides their bike, parks it in the garage to look at or trailers it to a rally. Some buy to ride other buy to look. Keep on riding yours though because we all know you are having way more fun than they are.
