blue72beetle Posted October 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Damn I'd love to fly that big Rascal.Bet it flys inverted well with that wing Here's it's first flight. I've got everything to convert it to electric, except for batteries.... and time to work on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonik Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Andy, I am disappointed that you are packing it in already. I thought you were hardcore. Next you are going to tell me you have a trailer for your bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh1234 Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 was hoping to sell it, actually, but it fell through Will still ride this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokey Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 My bikes are never put away for the Winter, ready to ride at any break in the weather. Keep tank full with a bit of Stabil and plugged into the tender, other than that I am ready to ride when temps above freezing and the roads are dry.

330racing Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) Im hoping to ride through November. New heated gear is AWESOME...rode to work yesterday and wasn't bad at all. Coldest I've ridden is 27 degrees...hoping to beat that. Edited October 20, 2015 by 330racing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next you are going to tell me you have a trailer for your bike. Well, I only put one bike inside. I'm still riding the Grom until it starts to snow, then that will go inside too. The V-Strom will stay out in the garage so I can ride it whenever the urge hits.No trailer here, but I didn't ride the Grom home after I bought it....

swingset Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Fuck no, this is the best time to ride! Beautiful colors, no bugs, no sweating, no parades of slow ass fair-weather riders cloggin the roads. This state throws too many 50+ degree days at you through the winter to ever pack it up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alansz400 Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Never. Most fun you can have on 2 wheels.This was from last winter. Did about 100 miles that day. Good times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah no doubt it is a different world up by the great Lake or the closer you are to it, Central Ohio and South can be rather pleasant sometimes when it is pure ass up North.

Scruit Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 I'm still commuting on the bike too. Monday morning was right at freezing but I had enough layers to stay plenty warm for the 30 min ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 (edited) Just washed the bike last night and plugged in the tender but she will always be ready to ride. My season is mostly over because I don't commute with it and my weekends are mosty taken up till the middle of Nov.If we happen to get a nice weekend after that I'll take her out for a spin.

sprocket226 Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 Today 'may' have been the last ride to work for the season,I'll put the bike on the stands, Stabil, tender, but have it so I can take off when we get those descent days during winter.

Wolfman1 Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 Just finished mine tonight. New oil and filter, washed and detailed, cleaned and lubed the chain, sea foam in the tank and battery tender hooked up. Another season of riding in the books!

Scruit Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 (edited) I don't usually put mine up - It's always hooked up to a battery tender when parked in my garage, and I'll add a little sta-bil, but that's it. This year, though, I have a lot of maintenance to do so I have to pick an end date to the season. I figure when I get two weeks solid of below freezing mornings it'll be time to call it a season and get to tearing her down.

Bad324 Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 When I had the bike my tradition became putting it away for winter on Thanksgiving morning. But really all this meant was a solid detail, stabil in the tank and throw the cover on it. Still too many good days left in up here in NEO before then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swingset Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 I hope everyone who has their bike stored already feels like a big fat failure. Damned awesome weather yesterday and today...got out and loved every second of it. Never hot at a stop, just cool enough for a liner in the jacket but not cold. Yesterday all of us out there riding waved at each other, but it was a knowing wink instead of a friendly gesture...it was all of us with some patience saying to one another "Hey, cool guy, I don't have premature ejaculation either. You rock. I rock. Look at us!" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimTheAzn Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 I usually ride when the roads are dry, but this season it's not moving til Spring. Need a brake light and a battery.Sent from my iPhone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
