AndrewOW Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 If I manage to get myself a scooter soon, then it will be off road most of the time anyway, which will help keep it in tip-top shape from thereon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny g Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Mine's getting used sporadically, mainly weekends, between now and January, when it goes to Hodge for the HKS Twins, where it'll stay for a month or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcAB10 Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 As soon as the worse weather comes (frost, snow) mine won't be getting used at all till it's nice again... I can't imagine the snow doing much good to my diffuser lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Meh its not a Ford! Mine is hardcore! Its in a climate controlled unit with dehumidifier which also has sprays perfume at 5 past the hour for 5 hours in a 24 hour period. It is also wrapped up in a thunderbird duvet to keep it very cuddle and bubble wrap around its feet to keep her comfy. I also have a Buzzlight night light as she is scared of the dark.

add heywood Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 well mines be in the garage for 6 months now while I wait for my head to come back with new stem seals fitted... How long does it take your garage to do that? When I get mine back from Jurgen it will be hibernating till april time when the weather is a bit nicer and we get some sun. It's a bit pathetic that we all tuck them up the first sign of rain and cold weather though lol... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Mine will be insured, tax'd and mot'd throughout winter so will be coming out when weather and time allows. But during the winter months will be having a well deserved body makeover and respray. Really looking forward to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pistonbroke Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 My one will come out on nice days still. Also on days when I'm too cold or tired to use the bike. Got stuck in the snow last year in it, took me 6 hours to get home through what would normally be a 30min journey. Not something I want to repeat again. People were bumping into each other all around me, my petrol light was on, I was breathing out of my arse the whole time. The next day it snowed again around the time I finished work, so I walked 9 miles home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
