She isn't having any work done, I can't afford rego for a while and I refuse to sell it. Looooove my sportster.

I am in the same boat just can not justify the rego and have been away off and on for the last year.

All I have done is start her up every few months after 6 months went up and down the street.

Am I doing some thing wrong by my bike doing this ?
