Parked for winter

[Jeff Cameron]

What a sad day....Parked my bike for the winter today. Did a short hop to the gas station to fill the tank up and added some fuel stabilizer. Rode back home and did an oil change then parked it at the front of my garage. Only bright spot was my new Nelson Riggs bike cover looks good and fits good too. Can hardly wait until mid April......Sigh......Living in a northern climate really bites for riding.

Just coming into summer here. Today was 32c with storms in the afternoon. The morning was perfect for riding.

Parked mine up a week back, haven't changed the oil yet (Mobil1 have decided not to stock the oil I like here any more).

Now comes project season!

Still hopeing for 1 or 2 days in Nov. Not willing to give up. I'm one of those guys cheering for global warming. Winnipeg Canada, to cod for to long.

Last year was the first year I did not ride all winter. We had 5 feet of snow in January in 3 weeks and a foot every 3 days after that. I did not ride until the last week of March and that was a quick ride because the roads were awful. But I will never winterize my bike or take the insurance off. There is always (hopefully) a day to take a rip.

^same, it was impossible here, I couldn't even get to my barn for months, let alone get a bike out.

It was depressing. I had to wait until the end of March to buy the Rocket because the Barn/warehouse it was in was blocked by 8 feet of snow. We could only walk to the barn to look at it.

I'm hoping El Niño will extend the riding season here in the mid Atlantic

Been a beautiful September and October so far
