I dont get this putting the bike in a bag business. Surely the winter is the time to do all the work on classic bikes to make them ready for the next season ?
Winter evenings tatting in the garage with the heater on and Kerrang fm on the radio and a tinnie on the bench........the perfect way to wind down after a crap day at work.

Totally agree, but, I have 5 bikes, 3 of which are projects and I just ain't got the room to work around them all.
I stuck the Saxon in the house to simply avoid getting it damaged.

depends on if you have got the bike how you want it. even if you still need to do a few jobs on it you can still open the bag now and again. it just stops it getting damp etc.
