Are you already laying your bikes up for winter?

I'll remember to give you car drivers a wave when I'm filtering past you over winter .

That is including to and from the 4 mile MOT, a pop to the shops and then moving it to my new house.

I won't be venturing out on a bike if there is the merest hint of ice or salt. Spent many years commuting in all weathers and my knees/elbows suffer in the cold now as a result.

Also, it doesn't matter what you spray a bike with or how quickly you clean it after a spin, salty water always finds a way in and does damage.

Bikes for good weather, cars for the rubbish....

The R1 was SORNed at the end of September if only because I only ever tax it for six months of the year nowadays.

The FJ1200 is also only taxed for six months so that will be SORNed at the end of November,as I taxed it mainly for our French Euro trip this year and for the occasional ride out somewhere with Mrs.Fizzer,as she finds the FJ more comfortable to the Exup for a rideout.

But the Exup,KTM and XR-SM are taxed and on the road all year

If it's icey/snow Been there, didn't like it.

Rest of the time is fair game, although I do have use of a car a few days a week. Did jib out one February heading to Gloucestershire when I started shivering uncontrollably after an hour on the motorway.

The six months tax thing probably accounts for a big drop at this time of year; tax it in April ready for easter, it runs out at the end of September.

That's not so much of an issue now you can do a pay monthly thing online, and sorn it at any point (so you could run March - October with a few clicks, rather than old-school having to post the tax disc back for a refund).

I saw a guy on a cruiser style bike today, in leather jacket and (I think...) jeans, riding through the floods "up north".

It was absolutely pissing it down and cars were crawling through the flooded sections.

Not my idea of a good time. I'm guessing the poor guy had no option.

I'll be using mine all year unles there is ice
I'll be cleaning it as often as I can and be looking into acf 50 or any alternatives
I have as good a gear as I could afford and spent many years cycle commuting in all weather
Hopefully the bike will wear ok
