Hers or your office? If it's hers I can see why she's not happy.

It rarely gets under 20deg c here in winter, so no mate I don't.

When it does though, you can spot the locals. They are the people wearing the polar gear.

Drain the fuel from the tank and carb(if equipped) crimp the vent hoses on tank and crankcase or the smell will make you sick. Tires reek pretty bad too, don't know what to do about that.

She looks a little chilly! Throw a blanket on her to make her feel more comfortable.

Jeez, have you not ever heard the phrase, "happy bike, happy life"?

Our last house had an exposed basement so it was easy to wheel my bike in. At our current house I partially disassemble to bring into the basement..my wife helps me carry it down (and complains the whole time).

Great looking bike, mate. Could you please tell me what sticker kit that is? I am looking for one for the Cycra shroud that looks factory/stock, and this definitely fits the bill. Thanks in advance.

I've always done it, cleaning and prepping for the new season helps chase the winter blues.


The bikes keep getting older, like me.

Thanks...the graphics are just the oem version from Factory Effex plus I bought a couple of the plastic tuning fork logos to match the stock look.

Thanks again, Brad460. It looked different on the cycra shroud but as soon as I realised, it was so obvious.

Now I have a heated garage so I can work on them all winter long

I usually had a few cups with the Duc by the fire before I stuffed her in the corner for the winter.
