Title: Weather is Turning, Parking it for a while -
Post by: Designflaw on December 06, 2017, 03:22:22 PM
Well, its that time I guess. Got about 100 miles in on Sunday 60 degrees. Now they are calling for mid 30's and low teens for the nights for the next few weeks with a couple chances of snow so salt will get thrown.

Cleaned it up, run some stabilizer in, parked off tires and covered. I hope its only for a short period. I gotta say I love the Ceramic Coating, makes cleaning a breeze and looks great. Now I will sit back have a beer and read the Forums!!  :drink:

yeah, supposed to get down in the low 30's here over the next couple of days.  doesn't usually snow, so salt isn't a concern here.  actually looking forward to it, just got a new pair of electric gloves and haven't been able to try them out yet.

In Kentucky it will only be a few days until you can ride again. I lived in Central Ky for 41 years, very few times that much over a week went by without at least one day you could ride.

After getting 3 good riding days in over the last week, for a total of about 600 miles. Today I cleaned up the bike and gave it a good wax job and covered it up. They are calling for cold weather with snow by Saturday. Today they started pre-treating the roads, which will keep me off until a good rain. Looking at long range forecast, hope to be back on bike in a couple of weeks.

Designflaw, I was down your way Saturday, did a lunch ride down to Red State BBQ.

That's a pretty good place to grab a bite here locally. Their Tap Room in Georgetown burned down but was cool little hole in the wall.

I really use winter to work on things to bring out a new bike in the spring lol. However, I doubt I have ever put one up for longer than 30 days.
