Mew, plants in the house I understand. Me-eoW! motorbikes?? interesting decor concept.

Re plants: Since I find them tasty (especially fresh-cut flowers) KatMa decided to put french doors up to the living/diningroom. Plants & flowers go there. I can see them through the windowpanes. Mew, and I can even go in the living/dining room when the flowers are there so long as KatMa is with me. The reason for that is clever as I am, mew, I can't work doorhandles!

As for protecting the bike, perhaps a big cover like the one KatMa puts on the BBQ would be good. Auto/cycle shops should have them [ they have car 'bras']. If you can't find a cover then heavy plastic wrapped around the bike & tied underneath like the ironing board covers might do it. KatMa thinks two-sided sticky tape on whatever is the covering would keep pussycat paws off the cover. Me-yuk! I don't like sticky-stuff on my velvet paws.

Good luck in your new place. Post a photo of your motorbike decor...we'd love to see how you create this artistic touch.
