How long has your CB sat
#1
What is the longest your CB has sat without being ridden?

Several months. Haven't ridden my DLX since early November, though I did roll it out for a photo op with the Monkey in mid-December.

Every winter, mine sits from early November until about late April or early May of the spring weather is awful.

2 weeks.. Though over the winter, I haven't managed to ride it much more often than every two weeks. I try to spread the love with my bikes, and with the weather what it is. I usually manage once per week riding. Going out on the CB this afternoon though....and if I have enough time, I'll take the R Nine T for a spin too.

...so far only during winter season, which in GTA/Ontario is from Nov to mid April, or roughly speaking up-to 6 months = too long Confused

7 MONTHS LAST WINTER FROM OCTOBER 2017 TO MAY 2018 Sad

The summer of 2018 was no better. Winter remained until May. We sold our house in late May and had our household goods sent to storage. Fortunately Penny's sister took us in for the summer. But my CB was stored in our aunt's garage a hour away. I had to rely on Penny to drive me there and back in the car.

Then there was the terrible weather. I don't remember such a cold, windy and rainy summer. Sad

When we finally moved into our new home in mid-August, there was a lot to do. I did not get to ride until mid-September, and my last ride was early October.

So it looks like my CB will spend another 7 months in the garage. On the really bitter cold winter days I pat her on the butt and tell her. "Aren't you glad you are a motorcycle". Thumbs Up

Last year, here on the coast, it was just the opposite. Lots of sun but also very hot and humid which set records for high temps. We usually get very little of each.
It was so uncomfortable you couldn't ride and enjoy it - and we're being told "Get used to it. This may be the new normal."
In the meantime, CB is tucked away in my dry and warm basement where I see it many times a day.

It's probably been 7 months since I threw a leg over. I've had some personal stuff going on and a bit of an arthritis issue with my hip on top of that. I have no intentions of getting rid of it, but for now ridding is a luxury.

Mine’s sat for a couple of months due to travel.

Randy B, hope everything is OK.
