    Just realised that my bike has been parked up for months now with not a lot of fuel in it. Should I fill it up or is it too late now?

    Good luck Paul, not sure the weather forecast is going to be good enough to take that beautiful Pani out, I would certainly leave it a few weeks.

    The rain had washed all the salt away yesterday and dried up.....First time in 5 weeks! I managed to get one out for a quick turn over and to brim the tank up.
    I was just literally heading home to do the same with the SP today but bumped into the grit waggon and it's dumped tons down again :eek:
    .....same temps here as Manchester tomorrow so I'd def check roads before you set off @PauloHRC
    You'll need the defibrillator if you suddenly hit salt on your brand spanky new baby lol :D

    Yeah I here you guys, literally all I was going to do was fill her up and go for a quick blast up the motorway one junction and back home again. Just to make sure everything is tickety boo!

    No point getting it out in March for the first big ride out and find out it runs like @bazzashadow 's chopper!!!o_O:eek:

    Derbyshire Council has a live gritting map so you can see which roads have been done. If your council has the same you could maybe plot a route on clean roads if you only want to check its running ok :)
