I think it would have to sit in excess of 10 months for that maybe to happen.
I agree. Our scoots are not heavy enough to cause flat spots from just sitting over the winter, JMO. On the other hand, I ride my scoot at least 2 miles each week (to the highway and back, just to be on the safe side).

More important stuff to worry about, but if it gives you peace of mind roll her around a little. Can't hurt... I think the chalk mark thing is a little over the top, must be an ex traffic cop maybe?
