Looks like I'll have to wait and see what the outcome is, it's cold and snowing again. It really was foolish to think the mild weather would last, it is still January!
I did manage to get the bike out of the family room, through the kitchen, out on to the deck, down the steps, across the lawn, through the gate on to the driveway to have it pee down rain!! There was some language that was more suited to my previous forum name!!

To top it all the bike is now in the shed I built for it last year, no more getting up on a sleepless night and polishing something. (on the bike!!)
