Oh, I get what you guys were saying.....
It doesn't live outside (right now)!
I just pushed it into the snow because I got it running and wanted to go for a ride.....
It will live in a parking spot, next to my Norton, uncovered for the season though.
But that really doesn't sound like abuse to me either. I find covers cause more damage then just leaving the bike in the sport and regularly cleaning/waxing it.
