Last ride today 
still, hopefully the worst of the winter will be gone by mid feb...
Filled it up with the expensive shell and whacked some 'additive' in too.
I didn't ride it for about 5 months last year and it started fine, this is just planned so I might as well try
Going to leave the battery in it, it's stuck on the drive (front door measures 73cm, handlebars are 77cm...) and the immobiliser can't be a bad thing.
Didn't drain the carbs, looked too fiddley and didn't bother with any of that squirting oil in the cylinders either, far too much trouble
On centre stand and front wheel on blocks and that's about it, except it being chained to ground anchor through swinging arm and engine bar (seperate chains), disc lock on front, chain to solid fence through rear wheel. It's not going anywhere...
That's pretty much all I've done, gave it a good clean the other day which made me feel better for leaving the poor girl
I'll let you all know how overgrown my brother lets it get!
