    Ullo all..........

    Ye ol Blongmobile has been locked up in moth balls and unridden and unstarted (cause of its position in mates car hire cage) for the last 7 weeks now.... As i am still recovering from a shoulder reconstruction it looks as though it may be another month b4 it gets started or ridden again depending on how fast this prick of a shoulder lets me....

    Do ya think that will be ok to let sit or is there something i should do to prevent problems.????

    I didnt expect it to be mothballed for this long...

    Ta yoll....................

     Usually a good polish and keep it loosely covered if possible. The battery may also need a kick along during this time and check the air in the tyres when you first start riding again.  Hope the after op aches settle down for you....beagle

    When you first get back on ride around slow with all brakes on to descale them. It may prevent panic on your first attempt to slow down.
