    Good tips, I would add put some dryer sheets in the exhaust and intake if you can to keep mice out. Used to find dog food in my bikes in MN until I started doing that.

    You lucky dog! I've been in Mississippi and Texas for 3 months. GREAT riding weather ...but my Spyder is in the garage in Pennsylvania. It'll be some pretty cold riding when I get back.

    Hi Rob!
    I wondered where you've been hiding... It was too early for you to have hibernated already!

    I am with ya Bob! This is the fall/early winter that just keeps giving. It keeps giving decent riding weather every weekend. Headed out again on Veterans day and hopefully again on Saturday 11/14.

    As for winterizing I only add fuel stabilizer as I seem to get out almost every month in the winter when we get that brief warm up. Good tips though for those that park it for months at a time.

    Yep, Lamont I will second that. Good advice especially the Oil change to get the acid in the oil out.

    Here in Arizona our best riding Season is October through April. In the winter in Minnesota we rode with snowmobile gear if the roads were clear.

    Brrrr!
