    Default I had a real problem with my RT yesterday

    It's been sitting in the garage on the battery tender since Jan 1. I had taken it out on New Years Day and it felt funny. The new DPS didn't seem to turn as easily as it had late last year when first installed.
    So this time, I figured I had better put some air in the tires.
    I pulled the Spyder up to the front of the garage. I had to move it so I could get access to the right tire.
    I checked the pressure, and sure enough, the pressure was about 13 pounds. I opened up the garage so I could access the outside plug to connect the compressor, and increased the pressure in the front tires to 18 PSI and the rear to 29 PSI.
    Now for my real problem.
    The weather was so nice, I just HAD to go for a ride.....................
    Now my Spyder is dirty ! Isn't that just a horrible problem ?
    I suppose I could wash it next week, but I'm afraid I'd just have more of the same.................................
    If it ain't broke, don't break it.

    It means you ride though the winter.
