How many keep their bike on a jack during your winter storage? I put mine up just far enough to take the weight off the tires. Is this a good idea?

 

That's how I do it.

 

I haven't done that yet. I just park it and put the battery tender on it. But then it only sits for a few weeks at a time between rides and not stored for months.

 

I would probably do that but it would become a pain in the a$$lowering it every other day to go riding

Sorry couldn't resist...

 

yeh yeh yeh. you southern boys don't know how good you got it. or maybe you do. it's been an unusually long and cold winter here in the midwest. usually i am able to get the bike out every few weeks or so but not this year. it's been brutal.

 

This just floors me, this storing thing you guys talk so much about. Isnt a store a place to go to buy things. Move to South Texas and you will forget the meaning of store your bike

I lived my first 30 years in Michigan so I can feel your pain. I remember those long midwest winters all too well. Good luck up there hopefully the weather will break soon. If you want to make a move let me know www.scottscarolinahomes.com

 

I put mine on a lift every year. Then can't resist tearing it apart.

Yes it's an excellent idea. When I was keeping my past bikes inthe shedduring the winter they wereoff the ground on a mcl. jack. My RK is storedatthe mechanics shop this winter, not on a jack, but he moves it around from time to time so as not to flatsplot the tires and whatever.
