Only 60 Days until Spring!

To my fellow 1M pilots who decided to park for winter, is winter going slowly for you too?

I am finding it more difficult than I thought to park the 1M for the winter, considering now I have now owned it more time parked than driven

But, only 60 days remaining until I can restore the permagrin

1 word. Salt.

If there wasn't any salt, I probably would do it. This 1's a keeper

Salt, Acid Rain, Bird Poo, Potholes, Texting Drivers, Falling Russian Spacecraft, Meteors.... I'd rather drive mine.... BTW the PS2's don't like to sit for long periods of time, don't forget to move it a liitle to prevent flat spots!

Same here. Unplowed parking lots are always fun too.

Fortunately, we haven't had much accumulation in Toronto this year, and there are plenty of cold, sunny days where the roads are dry. Great to get out and stretch it's legs once every week or 2.

Thanks, I will rotate them a bit, I also added 5psi to help combat flat spots.

All that stuff doesn't bother me, not worried about stone chips, putting miles on it, etc. I was doing my 1200 mile service 8 days afer I got it! But for some reason salt does, the way they the road crews excessively use it around here is just crazy. God forbid someone actually has to drive on the snow! The 1M is a garage queen only in winter, other than that no worries. Except for maybe falling Russian Spacecraft, thats a little worrisome!
