Do I SORN Zuky

[Spiderman]

Woah! Lets get a different perspective on this.

You love your bike - check
You want to rid it more - check
You dont wanna sell it - check

So wrap her up and get her out when you can. Not all of us have to be all weather bikers. Mine is my only form of transport, by choice. So i ride all year round. I never hold it against anyone who dont do the same as me. How dull would life be if we were all like each other.

Selling the bike means you'd have no bike next year and it'd cost money out the bank that you probably wonuldnt save from the sale of this one right? No-one life is that organised is it?

So SORN it, warp it up. Read a few of the threads on here about over winter storage and lets hope we see pics of you out anf about on her again next year.

just my 2p worth of course but i though this thread needs a bit more balamce thn the knee jerk sell it comments.

I'd let it run. Then its taxed for when you need it. We could still get some nice dry weather in October. Sorn it in November

Or.

Ride it untaxed, I mean; who would know?

But seriously, its August! When is it going to get much better than this?! I rode 60 miles last night, there was some rain, but then the sun came out and everything was glorious. If you want to SORN it to wait til better weather then you'll have to SORN it and move it to France, cos the only better weather than this in the UK happens for a sum total of 1 week a year.

I know what you mean but we dont all have the same taste in riding weather do we? I know some peeps who dont ride when its too sunny, go figure that one out, lol.

Point i was making was its madness to sell something you own and love...especially if you aint got a pile of cash sitting about waiting for you to spend it on another toy. So the sensible idea is to put it away and get it out when you know you will have time to use it. Time and money also seem to be factors for Shelly, not just the weather. ANd working shifts means she dont get to always enjoy the weather when it suits her i guess.

Gotta agree with Warty on this one!

If you don't want to sell (which I get the distinct impression is the case! ) why not tax the bike and make a real effort to get out on it lots over the next month or two?

Then you can get back in the swing of things and still enjoy some of the nice Autumn days. It also means that you avoid the situation of being down on confidence AND having a further 6 mths/yr off the bike...

whisper mode on/ or ride it untaxed if you get the chance / whisper mode off.

but shes a cop so i guess she has to do the right thing. If the tax is about to run out whats the harm in keeping the annoying authorities happy and having the SORN certificate and then if you get the chance sneak out on the bike and hope you dont get caught? Naughty, i know but then i was never one to not be naughty when the mood is right i guess.

Spot on Spidey - I planned to go to work on her tonight just to give her a run as her battery has been dead due to lack of use. But the rain has killed that. Everytime I think I will go to work on her the weather seems to play a factor, so I thought SORN. I know it's early to SORN thats why I am ummm'in and arrghh'in LOL and yes if I sell I wont have the cash next year as I will always use Zukys dosh to mend summat that needs mending LOL.

Right work calls again so I shall say tara and enjoy sitting in a cage all night nice and warm
