Bizarrely I'm doing it all backwards. I'm just getting mine out now - 2012 has been crap biking wise and it's spent most of the year with no tax, no MOT and a flat battery. I'm determined not to let 2013 be the same.

So it's had a wash and a new battery today, and I'm beating the queues at the garage and getting it MOT'd, taxed and serviced next weekend. Poor thing needs a fair bit though, including new exhaust headers and some brake work, just to get through the test At some point I need to talk to a sparky about getting some electricity in the garage so it can sit on a trickle charger, I'm sick of the alarm killing a battery or two every year.
