Re: is everyone in hibernation
the back brake is sticking a bit so this will be a good opportunity to ease it up,i was out last sunday on it,i noticed the the salt lorry had been out so with that in mind and it was bloody freezing,i decided to start footering for next season,have my man shed almost finished,just need to cut an opening sash window in it and tile the roof,fully insulated an a mate who is manager in a local plastics factory run me plastic sheeting exact length and height to complete the inside walls,8mm thick,and wait for it,FREE,its black but who cares,i have wet gear that i bought with the gsxr 400,that i never use now,but i do agree that the gear is much warmer and better now,wrangler jeans,leather jacket,with sawn off wrangler jacket, scarf and army gloves just isnt good enough,ha,ha,

Re: is everyone in hibernation
Salt is a killer for brake calipers. Get it off and pop the pistons out. Gently ease the seals out and if the are in good condition you can re-use them. Clean out the seal grooves and pistons thoroughly and reassemble with red rubber grease. Should keep them in good condition through the rest of the winter then.
