Just putting the track bike away tonight until spring after the brands do last night - anything in particular you'd do before laying a track bike up (or indeed any bike) for that length of time ??

Cheers

Waiting to get shot down here, I am a watchmaker and a fussy fecker at that, so could be talking too much in the Bo****ks dept.


I'd stick it on an Optimate at least once a month.
Keep the tank full (stops rust I was told, was even told to put some sort of treatment stuff in with the fuel).
Keep an eye on tire pressures and give them a spin round if resting on them.
Fire up engine for a while, just to keep oil in all the right places.

Spoke to someone in the big red D once, told me something I already knew Briel are Sh**e and are nothing but trouble.

No makers name on it, just Ducati

It just needs a service, or a new battery

A bit off topic for the thread, but, what would you go for in the way of watches ?

I know which way I'd go financially, just wondered what would be your recommendation ?
