I normally stop in at one of those self service wash bays and grab the pressure washer. I leave the engine running and spray it from every angle. The place I go to has a slight incline at the rear of...

When I'm going to MA or local in CT two bungess are enough to hold it in place up to 50mph.
When I got to VT, I have to prep for high speed so I reinforce with 6 bungees...
A few BRP folks did bring up the topic of doing a tear down on it and we played around with the idea earlier in 09'.... so we'll see if anything develops from it.
I push through some ugly...

It does, it does very well. I'm pushing mine threw it's second winter and it runs great. I murder my battery with heated gear and cold starts but overall the performance is nothing short of...
interesting.... makes me wonder if this carries over to the RT. This past fall I spent a few days on an SE5 model and fell in love. I quickly decided that would be the way to go with the RT.
But,...

Medican, thanks for the link.

IN Western CT and I have not owned an automobile since 2004.
The Spyder is my primary, but not my only. On backup, there is a BMW F800GS.
