    Well after seeing a post in cox honda thread! and been asked by another member!

    Give us a run down on how you store yours!!

    Post the pics of sleeping bikes up chaps!

    Ideally you should be at least doing a lap of the streets once a month for brakes suspension etc!

    But if like me just have it on charger take it off each month for a week/fire it up once a month get it up to temp fan in and out a few times/bounce it about ie sit on it move it back and forth work brakes then back to sleep ;)

    Bats, I never get enough of the pics of your cave, dude.

    My bike stays uncovered plugged into the Optimate, ready to go anytime.

    My mother in law only lives 5 minutes away, I get the same amount of warning as a nuclear strike.

    I have to be ready.

    I store mine at home same as you, despite all the offers from my local Halfords store to show it in their front window

    dont store it ride it, if the roads are dry and clear there's nothing like a quick 30 min run to keep the oil flowing.

    Mine is in the garage under an old bed sheet, in bits & slightly dirty, not plugged into the optimate & hopefully not looking like the above with a piece of wood resting on it.
