    Default IT'S A SAD DAY

    This past sunday i cleaned, waxed & stabilled the bikes. put battery tenders & covers on so my riding season is officially
    over. I have all winter to install my garage door openers on both bikes.
    Worse part is I am home on sunday mornings and my wife hates me being home, any advice on where i can find a
    girlfriend for the winter?

    It horrifies me just to think about putting bikes away for an entire winter. I'm so very happy we can ride year round here with only an occasional few days of nasty weather that shuts us down. I'll do what I can to ryde through the winter on your behalf.

    Sorry to hear about your winter blues.
    How do you plan on installing your garage door openers?

    i bought the ones made for bikes, the one for the spyder goes where the blank is on the rts next to the heat & frunk release buttons, on the
    scout it is a small button & i have to see where to mount it.

    If you consider your to be your "girlfriend," you will most likely stay out of trouble. Maybe some additional "farkles" over and above the garage door openers to keep you working on the spyder.

    I have had all three bikes parked for about three weeks now. I feel your pain.

    Based on your SL name I was assuming you were informing us of Stan Lee's passing.

    the 20th century along with walt disney.

    Maybe you could make a trip down south and rent a Spyder for the weekend?

    That sucks to lock it up.

    Move. We endured 12 years in Michigan. Ice on the floor in my garage! Enough of that! Sunny Las Vegas is delightful! The hot summer is a pia, but the warm winter more than makes up for it! We travel north in summer for cooler climate, and it works out great! We ride every day! We are quite happy with LV!

    I share your Spyder Withdrawl Pain. I put my RTL into hibernation the last week in October. We had almost no Spring this year, and only six weeks of fall. Winter temps arrived on November 1st. The first significant snow is expected Thursday.

    Only one "upside." That first snow is always winter wonderland pretty. As long as you don't have to drive in it, go out shopping, or want to ride the motorcycle or spyder.
