Mine was away for most of last year as I was at sea. Needed to skim the brake disks and replace an ABS sensor, but that was about it (Apart from a new clutch but that was on the way out before it went away!)

have it off road for winter and few things seize up when get it back out. but its not seen the salt on the 18 yr old arches and done loads of miles
or, use it all the time, put more miles on it, prob knack engine more as they always are breaking! and have it covered in grit n salt
well, mine used to get used all the time but now i have my vectra, i can keep it for summer cruising! plus i do 600+ miles a month at work so def couldn use the cossie!
