[QUOTE="mcatrophy, post: 1429646, member: 3187"] Lock-down, only allowed journeys for essential shopping and medical needs. Daughter has banned me from shopping -"I don't want you to catch it and then I have to clear out your house". She takes after her mother, I daren't go against her wishes; the bike can't go out. So, started the bike, left the engine running while I pumped the tyres up a little harder than usual. While I was at it, I started the car and pumped its tyres up a little harder than usual. Backed the car out, turned it round in the drive a couple of times, drove it back into the garage (hopefully on a different bit of the tyre on the floor - makes me feel that I am preventing flat-spotting). By this time the car's temperature gauge (line of LEDs) showed it was up to normal temperature, so I turned it off. Returned to the bike, engine still running, paddled it back out of the garage, rode it forward, repeated a couple of times. By this time the cooling fans were on, so back into the garage, put it on its centre-stand, and turned it off. That's it for another few weeks. [/QUOTE]
