Mine has just been sitting since early November too. Weather is finally getting better, so it won't be long before she comes out of the garage.

There have been a few nice days, but I don't have insurance or tags for it at the moment, so I decided not to drive it. I did have to take the cover off to look aher though...

Mine looked something like that until a week or so ago, when it just had to come out and play for a few hours - now we're back tucked in again until cabin fever and nice weather collide again

How in the world does that happen? Do you have a problem? I've never, ever seen oil on my car...anywhere....unless you just mean common road grime...

I used to have an old 2 cycle dirtbike...this'll date me...it was a Hodaka Combat Wombat....had it when I was 14....I had a special shirt to wear when I rode it because it needed a ring job and I always ended up with little black dots all over my back and arms....

sucks that the car is covered, but just think of how nice and clean the car is with low miles.
