That is a bad deal but I agree, those NBV footpegs look really nice. I like the the ones I made better than any I have seen but I may have to get a set myself. Hope the down time isn`t to hard on you.

Yeah mine is hiding in the garage too down here in the mountains of WV. I do take it for an occaisional run if the weather gets warm which happens at times. I run the trike at least once or twice a month and freshen the fuel if I take it out on the road. Never have used stabil in it or the yard tractor which gets the same treatment. It is supposed to get into the 50's today and I just might go for a ride. With just a warm scarf and heavy coat the heated hand grips work just fine for this old fart to stay warm enough, haven't even broke out the chaps yet! Two years ago we had a big ice storm and I had a blast running the trike in a big circle on the driveway apron. Yah know what you can override the nanny if you full throttle it on ice! He he what a blast that was! Bill

The winter sleep time for the bikes has also been hard for me. I usually do the polish and clean while they are down--so they look pretty when I ride them.
I come to SL to keep up on what is happening and to hear about others rides. I also read a couple of cycle magazines to which I subscribe--so that I am not out of the loop.
I have been good so far, and have stayed away from the catalogs and bling sites. I have not bought anything for either bike so far--and its looking like that will be the pattern this year.
I am going to get some new Firstgear next season--but am going to wait for Barb's annual sale at Alaska Leather (20% off usually) in late March or April.

With my other toys in the garage I decided to store my RT with a local dealer so I could make room for my daughters car for the cold nights. I am so far regretting my decision as my daughter's car has only seen the garage twice in the last 3 weeks. Mid 50's forecast tomorrow, missing RT really bad.

Sorry to hear that your Spyders are away for the winter. I brought mine here to Florida for the winter. I just got back from a ride and the sun is shinning and 70 degrees out there. It will cool down here but can still get out for a spin.

I have been trying to put mine away for two weeks now. I wash it, stabil it but every nice day back out of the garage she comes. Yesterday, Holly and I went for a ride (35 when we started but 40 degree high) with our snowmobile gear on. I know people are going to be upset with us in full Arctic Cat gear riding a BRP but who cares. The colors did not go well together but we were warm. Today I am going out for my last ride I think.

I ride my Spyder or, Harley till they start putting salt on the roads. I don't want to run the risk of having salt dust get up in the electrical connections and, it is hard on the aluminum parts. Ride safe and long and stay warm.

A miserable time of year for those of us who lack year-round Summertime!
