I did the same with the Daytona, took her out onto the decking, gave her a wipe down, looked at the sky and put her away again with a fresh cover over her.

took the superduke for a 250 mile run yesterday, and will be doing a couple more this week, the "season" is over when I say it is...:), horses for courses takes all types I suppose.

Cheers Mark.

I'd be out on the road all year round too;)

You have a few years more experience than me mate.
I can bin it well enough in the warm and dry so dont need any help in cold and wet :(

You have a fair point there mate but having seen you ride, I know you would be quicker than me with 2 dodgy knees:(

The enduro is road registered and taxed etc but green laning is a different sort of fun :)

I'll keep going out until its too cold for me. Though with heated gloves I'm hoping that I can go out whenever the weather is good. Dad went out as long as it was dry last year, even when it was only 1 or 2˚c, but he doesn't seem to feel the cold :p

Well there's only one way to gain experiance mate.

The superduke stays out until the smell of those nasty people putting down salt, then liberal amounts of ACF50 and tucked up for a while, from there it's the S4 and when it gets icy the CCM comes out to play as it's wicked on ice....:cool:

Cheers Mark.
