I finally realized the riding season was done here in Michigan.
I have to admit, in 46 years of riding I have never ridden up to the 23 of November.
This has to be the longest season ever.
So as I am reading the instructions to prep the Spyder for storage they recommend
greasing the 'A' arms. The manual shows zerk fittings (2 on the upper & 2 on the lower)
but I didn't see them on my machine.
Did they (BRP) stop using grease zerks on the front A arms before 2014?
:cheers: To Next Year's Riding Season!!! :cheers:
:cheers:May it be even longer, and with better weather! :cheers:
I can't give up yet even if it is a short ride out for breakfast going to push it until New Years. :f_spider::thumbup:
I am riding a Saddlesore 1000 and Bun Burner 1500 this week. I love Florida! I think we had a day of winter last week
I got to take a short ride on Thanksgiving Day and that was my last. Today being November 29th I am guessing it might be as much as 100 days until Spring weather arrives here in Northwest Ohio. That being said, If there are any days in the Winter season that get above 50 degrees Farenheit and the roads are salt free I will be riding.
I rode Wednesday just around town. We have been getting rain/freezing rain since.:gaah: Supposed to be up to 50 this Friday and Saturday, so there may be another ride in 2015.:dontknow: Last year I rode 300 miles on the 11th of December.
Anyone have an answer to his question towards the bottom of his post ?
Not sure of years before 13, but my 13 ST, and 14 RT did and do not have zerk fittings.
I'm riding today, and then I'll have to see what sort of weather blows in...
Hopefully; there'll be some "December SaddleTime" available this year... :pray::pray:
yesterday was the last ride of the season for me. i picked the bike up from getting ceramic pro done to it, looks great. now the battery
tender is hooked up & he is going into hibernation for the next 4 to 5 months.
my 2012 RTS has grease fittings on the A arms. look straight in thru and you will see them.
2012 was the last year for grease fittings on the front suspension bits... :banghead:
I can't give it up yet. 42 degrees in Fayetteville nc great for riding.

It's now December 3rd, and I'm still riding!! :yes:
I'm NOT giving up without a fight!! :thumbup:
The trend here has been a day or two more riding each year. By 2050 or so, I should be able to ride through December. :roflblack::roflblack: Some day soon, I should be able to ride at will. :yes:
Here's Johnny Cash and Ghost Riders in the Sky.

The only Month that I've never been able to "turn tires" in; has been January!
Bob, I hope that the weather( I can still see grass on lawn) we are having now, continues until March 2016. DeannaQuote:
