A spot of winter prep....

[garynortheast]

Looking at the weather forecast for this week makes me think a little bit of preppping the bike for winter may be on the cards. I think mostly it's going to involve a good clean (although it is pretty clean at the moment), and a thorough coating of ACF50. The bike is likely to be used through the winter as long as conditions allow, but at least the ACF50 will keep the worst of the crud out.

Just need a dry day to do the job now.

I usually SORN my bike at the end of November, this usually coincides with road gritting. I did think I might let it slip until December this year as we haven't had any gritting weather but given the forecast I might stick to my usual plan.

I think we've been lucky the roads haven't been gritted yet, in recent years I recall the gritters being out before the end of October.

Mine's still pretty clean, I've given the chrome and vulnerable bits a wipe over with ACF already.

Looks like we're also in for some freezing weather this week. On the drive home from my parent's house in Norfolk this morning I spotted at least three gritters heading into roadside depots so I think we're finally in for the first spreading of the season, probably tomorrow, once the forecasted rain finishes.

Might wipe a bit more ACF50 onto Bullseye but he's had a good coating already so should be good.
