How many people sorn their cars over winter?

Considering SORN this year for the first time. It's not being used much at all at the moment. May have a decision to make in the spring.

You’re not thinking of jumping ship?
 
I use mine all year round but in winter it only comes out on sunny days when the roads are dry.
 
I need to buy a new trickle charger to keep the battery topped up while the Zed is in dry storage. (I gave away my last one 10+ years ago and can't remember what it was).
Please can I ask for recommendations for a decent charger that is reliable and is certain to shut off when the bat is full? nothing fancy needed, just safe and reliable. Thanks

I think most of us use the CTEK. Costs about £70 and is excellent.

Thanks very much, I've just ordered the CTEK MXS 5.0 (the reviews are excellent).
 
Ctek every day.

Is there a reason for leaving with a full tank?
With the new car tax system, if for some reason we have a beautiful sunny crisp Jan it only takes a few clicks on a computer to have the car re-taxed.
 
Mines SORN end of the month, cleaned up, full tank and CTEK on. Will bring it out again in April 18. Will do a few jobs while it’s off the road too.
 
Neither my bike or car are off the road for any time. There's fun to be had with zmc in the snow, but I will draw the line at bringing the bike out in it!
 
I pay for a years ved and they send a cheque to me for the unused portion - I bung that into my car slush fund account for next years tax. :thumbsup:
 
I've just sorn’d mine today after returning from the Trip with Andy and the guys, wash, wax and covered up until next March

I’ve just SORN too, not had a chance to clean mine yet, although I do quite like it’s new Sepang colour :lol:
It’ll have to wait until the weekend now for a clean.
 
i had mine out again today and took it to work for the first time in Ages, maybe years , LOVELY!! , i hid it round the back in the work garages on its own and was excited all day to drive home!
