Title: Winter Storage choices
Post by: seevtsaab on October 31, 2009, 04:42:38 PM
Getting close to the tme I'll need to store the Duc but I'll ride to the bitter end.
Once salt goes all the roads I'm done, probably mid-late Nov to end of March-ish.

My choices, two garages:
1)  Partially below grade attached, never freezes, shared with salt covered cages, melting snow slush
and all that salt

2) Unheated cold garage (with electricity) but no salt, added moisture, insulated & cement floor.

The attached garage will allow me to see, caress and be tormented by my Duc.

I'll keep it covered (sheet), battery tender, I keept  the garage swept pretty clean but it's a battle.

unheated...

fog the motor...

change the oil and filter...don't start...

spray everything except the seat and tires/wheels/brakes with WD-40

and let it sit
