    .....and the battery is dead, it's been that long!

    Charging up as we speak, ready for a few blats out this week.

    I don't know, but this winter, I haven't wanted to venture out on it.

    Must be my age.

    Don't know how you guys do it. You have bucket load of self control.
    I make it a point to ride mine once a week (or 10 d max). Can't resist the urge when the garage door is opened:)

    Not been on my Blade since Oct also and can't stand it. Have to cover the bike and keep myself busy when I'm in the garage so I just don't start the bike up or make exhaust noises with my mouse lol

    I don't go crazy as I am a lazy bugger and try not to make extra cleaning work for myself.
    Dry winter days rides with no salt or grit on the road are fun, challenging and exciting (just like the bike itself specially when it gives me the come on look:cool:)
    Just make sure the tyre pressures are good and clothing adequate

    I don't think I've been out on my Fireblade since November but had the FJR out a few times - weather protection, heated grips and not quite the same urgency as the blade makes it a better option. Spent as much time cleaning it as I have riding it :eek:
