Winter storage tyres and discs

[Deleted account 191119001]

Might want to give your bike wheels a little spin with the hand, every month or so to avoid bike sitting on same spot on tyres and this helps the brake discs also.

Cover them all in ACF50 or WD40.

Note: my influence on my mates bikes regarding security, haha

At least they're doing something now, which never happened before.

Anyways, bikes were absolutely covered in Salt and Mud, so needed immediate attention with washing down when we all got home. (Ahem, ALLOY WHEELS FOR THE WIN)

BUT.... 9 degrees in January, blue skies in places.... no Winter shutdown here yet

Yeah, I said I'd never ride it in the salt but use the Africa Twin instead.... but the GSA is sooooo nice to ride I took it out anyways.

1 hour cleaning when I got home though
