Drop it round my house while you are away and you won`t need to lay it up as I`ll make sure that it gets a regular caning...oooops that should have said cleaning

That seems like a good idear but the 600 odd miles between us could be abit of a problem ,anyways my baby has never seen rain let alone a true brit winter .No its tucked up in my garage and you wouldnt belive the offers like that Ive had off my mates .Thanks again .

Hey,

Here in canada, this is a ritual that we go through.
Here is what I try to do:
-Lift wheels off the ground
-pull the battery, store inside on a trickle charger
-put some gasoline preservative (sta-bil)

That's it. Some blokes drain carbs, fog the engine, but this is only 4 to 6 months, so I don't bother.
