Done for the winter
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?

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

My Last 2015 Ride
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.

Not sure of years before 13, but my 13 ST, and 14 RT did and do not have zerk fittings.

Isn't it weird that in AMERICA our flag and our culture offend so many people......
but our benefits don't?

2012 was the last year for grease fittings on the front suspension bits...

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. Some day soon, I should be able to ride at will.
Here's Johnny Cash and Ghost Riders in the Sky.
