It's Over

Patriot · 11-01-2014, 04:24 PM

It's over for another year,I put the bike away Friday evening. Gave it a good wash,oil is changed,gas treated,and it's on the battery tender. Will go and check it over some time this week. Mostly to make a list as to the things I need to do this off season. Plus see what I need to spend money on that I don't need but want any way. Started planning my road trip to Ontario next summer. So one thing I need to check is tire tread,don't want to be looking for tires while on the road. Plus I want to change the clutch and break fluids,check the break pads,and in the spring have my mechanic give it a complete going over.So I hope all had a great riding season,I can honestly say New Hampshire was "FANTASTIC". Hope to meet up with you all again in the future. Stay safe over the winter,and try to keep your spending (biker stuff) under control. All the best..."CHEERS "...Patriot

.Go Start Her Up every couple weeks...let it warm up til the cooling fan cycles a couple times befor you shut it down !..(dont monoxide yer self in a closed garage/storage space)

Next spring you shouldnt run into the valve train clatter that many riders experience on a spring time, first start-up ! ..enjoy you winter season..

It was good to meet you in NH this past summer. I am not ready yet to give up on the year even though it has been cold the past couple of days. Hope to put at least a1000 miles before I call it a year. Have a good winter and hope our paths cross again soon.

I am going to try and ride once more this season. Wednesday Nov 5 is the planned day. See how the weather holds out.

I rode to work on Thurs, but we has rain and snow here yesterday and today. I'm still hoping I can get a couple more days in before I have to park it for the winter.
