    Hi can anybody recommend a secure storage facility to store a bike for 6 months approx preferably without having to drain the petrol as I would like to use it on a regular basis preferably north of swords thanks

    Oh by the way I don't want to buy the facility as I have been getting quotes of 150+ per month:eek:

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    It's easier to store it correctly than start it every few weeks. You'd have to move it to avoid damaging the tyres and unless you leave it running for a good while you could do more harm than good.

    Plenty of guides on the net on laying up a bike properly.
