Longest time off-the-road since new



I've been wondering if I have the bike that's been off the road the most 
since new...

The bike was originally bought on 6th September last year - it was a 
replacement for an insurance write-off.  As the guy that had it delivered 
was going overseas, he advertised it for sale with only the delivery 
mileage on it. There were no takers for quite a while, and when I bought it 
in December it had already been parked for nearly four months.

What with Christmas holidays and one thing and another, I only got to the 
break-in mileage at the end of January.  Then towards the end of summer 
- -  Feb 8th I had a crash, and haven't been able to get back on the bike 
since (foot and shoulder surgery).  If all goes well, I might be able to 
get back on next week if I get the all-clear from the specialist on 
Tuesday.  So, the bike is 10 months old, has just done the run-in mileage, 
and has been parked for 8 of the ten months.  Every now and then I go out 
the the garage and start it up, just to hear the engine run....
