Leather is for protection , not so good for heat or warmth .
Pictures, man!
Bought it a new coat and lubes, just to let it know it's still part of the plan
I have to figure out how to post.
Lol, can always count on you for a laugh bud!
Thanks for the 'heads up'... Though according to the Oxford blurb: 'Air can constantly travel through the breathable material', and: 'Breathable material to avoid condensation/moisture retention and the resulting risk of rust' AND: 'A RIDE Magazine 'Best Buy'.
Opened up The Vac Bag bag . It's really big , 6 ft. by 10 ft. . Battery out first. The idea is to "paddle" the bike into it . I'll get a neighbor to hold it fully open. Squeeze myself out of the bag .Then open up the Drysorb sack and drop it between the wheels . Then close it all up tight with the supplied big zip tie. Then I'll fit the regular orange/ black cover on top . Instructions state the imortance of rolling it in totally dry with no road salt on the tires. Wish me luck.Thanks for the 'heads up'...

Good luck. I would never leave my Norton on a parking space on a street for the winter in T.O. IF circumstances nesessatated it I would have 4-2×2's staking the 4 corners painted with reflective paint shoved into the snowbanks to make the bike less difficult for the plow drivers to see. Why not park it on the grass in front of the dwelling out of harm's way?
Artist's colony. No vehicles stored/ allowed anywhere on site , e- bikes or Bicycles only , we have a heated bicycle room , which I use . ( e-bike and 2 bicycles for me .. one bike ( Trek ) for summer use , one heavy wide tire cruiser for winter use . No smoking here too. Marijuana totally legal now but smoke it in the Park or street. Organic farmer's market on Saturdays. Thank god I'm allowed to eat meat. Why am I attracted to vegetarian sexy women ?
So, wait, you park the bike on the street for the winter, all bagged up. Then you leave the country for the winter in hopes that nothing happens to your bike. If something did, it would just lay there since you're out of country anyway. Then when you return in the spring you find out how your bike faired during the winter? Wow! Poor bike! I don't know that I could bring myself to do that. I would much sooner leave such a restrictive residence in Toronto, or rent a space in someone's garage to store the bike. You must have friends with garages. Either way, I would love to see the final result of your bagged bike before you leave the country for the winter.
Thinking of ordering in this magnetic sump kit. It recommends the spanner for it too . I have a deep 1 1/2 " big socket for the original sump . Would this work with the kit ?If I leave mine unridden for more than a couple of weeks, this takes less than 5 minutes and doesn't wear the threads on the crankcase.Andover Norton - MAGNETIC CRANKCASE (SUMP) FILTER KIT - 06.7281

I too looked at this for the P11, I'd guess the spanner is to stop the large plug turning as you undo the small one, something not achievable with a socket/box wrench perhaps?
