I got home from work at 2:30pm. I decided to dig the Spyder out. Took the frunk off to grease A arms. Removed the air breather to clean the throttle body. Did the fuel filter, air filter, checked the vacuum hoses and installed battery. I finished at 8:30pm. Started Spyder and no faults. Let Spyder warm up. I was happy camper. Now it needs a bath. Can not wait for my first ryde.

Wind therapy is good for the body.

6 hours to do all that. You must have done this job a time or two before. Its a good feeling when it goes all back together.

Congrats on waking up your spyder from it's long winter's nap.

Wind therapy is a good thing.

I don't hibernate my Spyder, usually find some excuse to take her out, even bought electric jacket liner and electric riding pants just in case. Thank God that management still works during the week so I can get my "Essential Mental Health Wind Therapy". Might hafta get emblems made to have sewn on my riding jacket.
