Default Night Night Bike

That's my bike off the road now for winter. I can't enjoy these greasy roads and low, blinding sun. Also I don't like wearing loads of layers of clothes, makes me feel remote and like I cant move. Even at the weekend there, all I did was put my winter gloves on and I couldn't stand it. Couldn't get any feedback from the front and felt like I wasn't in complete control. It's just me, I just don't feel 100% in the winter conditions, so it messes everything up, I feel like I'm going to panic and make a stupid mistake. So I'd rather wait till the good weather comes again.

And the bike is already suffering from the salt! Plus I'm needing a new front tyre and I don't want to put it on because I'm getting a new wheel anyway.

So my job over the next few weeks is to properly clean the bike, especially the engine. I've got some "S Doc 100 Motorcycle cleaner powder gel", which is meant to be very good at cleaning up the engine etc. The panels will be going in for a spray, and I've got new forks to fit. I bought some of that Briggs & Stratton Fuel Additive to keep everything tip top
