Poll - When is your bike going away for the winter

[Yammy]

If I can get away with 365 days I will.

But if the Ice hits I may well tuck it up in the garage with a blanket, hot water bottle and teddy bear.

[quote author=Advrider link=1351251210/8#8 date=1351253494]ICE & SNOW is a definite no - no, if you do ride snow and ice something must be seriously wrong with you :, unless you get caught out of course. :-?

I rode 361 days last year, aiming 365 this year, looking forward to the cold mornings though, nothing like a clear dawn morning and a touch of frost on the ground!

As Gooz said, Nov & Dec are fine it's the early months to the year.

I don't ACF, I just hose the bike down, particularly after every wet ride where salt is present.

Once I have ACF50 applied I won't wash the bike at all until April next year [/quote]

I couldn't do that! I wash my bike twice a week, Wednesday & Sunday, normally without fail unless I'm in the office till late... like most weeks now.

- Though-rough clean, everything.
- Paraffin the Chain and Sprockets, normally yank the rear wheel out once a week to completely attack the rear sprocket, then the front sprocket...

If I didn't clean it... I'd go mad!!

p.s. I'm really fecking anal about a clean chain and sprocket, really, really, really, f's me off when they get even a light coat of dust on them!

All of the above.

Sv is away.
I'm resisting tucking the Triumph up.
Both will be tucked up when the salt hits.
GS will keep going.

I don't put it away ever, but don't ride in snow/ice, and generally can't be bothered in cold/wet.

Your Google fu will turn up the cheapest (basically it ain't cheap), warm the can in hot water before using, or it will dribble and spit out, instead of a lovely spray.
