Let's see your CB1100 out on the road!

GO that is the license expiry date that came with the bike when i bought it, it was a six month period, in NZ we have minimal periods of three months, so i usually take six months on one bike and use the other for the other six and try to roll it out so the summer period is having the most chance of nice weather.
In wintertime it's usually around 15 degrees c, for me not pleasant to ride longer distances so i use the old bike to put put around and generally keep it going without wearing it out.

Wisedrum thanks for the advice, autosol is the medicine of choice and amazingly i do this only once a year and it seems to keep shiny enough for six months in the sun ( as long as you don't look too closely at the little "freckles" )
and also i only do around 12.000 km or so.
