Wrench turning tarp

The picture above is from the early days of the rebuild - taken one year ago. A lot of the work on the bike has been done in delicate environment. As oil change on vintage wooden floors or valve tuning on the kitchen table. As a designer I get in contact with a lot of interesting manufacturers, and new materials is developed every year. I just found out about a rubber tarp, made from recycled car and motorcycle tyres. The use of it today is floors in stables and decks on aluminum boats. I have a shipping on the way to my office. The plan is to start producing recycled rubber tarps for motorcycle builders. Specially cut to fit under a bike when you need to protect the floor - or if you have the habit of breaking down in nature. No more missing bolts in the lawn - no more oil in nature or on the sandwich. The tarp will be made in different sizes and models. The goal is to have a small production running before christmas.
