Any way to treat a monster

Well folks this sort of abuse should not be allowed there has to be a law against it somewhere.

PS. Don't worry its the wifes bike.

Needs a snow rider added, should keep you busy for a few hours

My mate had a Darmah.
Parked it out the back next to an outbuilding with dodgy rainwater plumbing.
In the big freeze up in the early 1980s, the successive freezing of each days meltwater from the roof, which dribbled over the front of the bike, resulted in the front cylinder being encased in a solid block of clear ice from tank to ground.
Stayed that way for a couple of weeks too.
Looked real "arty".

I bet he's got a pic somewhere. I'll see what I can do.

One for december in next years calendar maybe...?
