Winter IS coming

[den1953]

October 26, 27 & 28 then......

We're supposed to stay sunny today with low 60's then mid seventies & sunny tomorrow. Tuesday the 28th is when the cold front appoaches and rain is forecast, then it's all downhill from there with mid forties on Halloween day and low forties on Saturday November 1st. Sadly I had to miss out on any kind of riding this beautiful weekend (bumb knee).

This is the weather around here for the next 30 days... the RT is resting comfortably in it's DRY heated garage.

Not Autralia but Australia and another pleasant spring day here on the Gold Coast - 93 deg F forecast for today. Soon it will be too hot to ride again

Three weeks ago I put up my spyder for Winter Storage,(Oct. to April 1) Not much happens here for farkling, in the riding world. I can not wait until Spring to take my spyder out of its winter nap. So I can put miles on it. Deanna

Wow, To early to put away, Im in NH and still riding.LOl Rode today and there is snow in the future tommorrow. As soon as there is salt in the road I will then be done! I have 40,324 miles in three seasons, Love it!

I never completely put the Spyder away. It stays in the garage ready for action.
There are generally a few days available for riding in December and early January. Late January and early Feb not so much.
Some of the ski resorts in New England are already open. Skiing will start in Connecticut November 28th. It must be getting colder because of all the warming that's going on...........................

 

[Dragonrider]

Don't they make a rifle mount for the RT? I was sure I saw one.....

Well, since I have this week off, and the temperature has bounced to 57F (RAIN), I moved the RT to the truck's garage and started stripping off the tupperware.

I bought the RT billet windscreen bracket kit from "noboot" in Australia - terrific guy to work with - so, I'm going to hardwire my GPS, and install the windshield bracket, over the next few days. I wasn't going to spring for the bracket kit, but with all the cracking I've read about, it's just good insurance - the piece is soooo well made, and the kit has almost everything you would need for the install - a white marker and tools are all that's missing. Plus, there's a great thread in the "How to" section, showing every detail of the install! (More kudos to the forum Lamont!)

Now, I have to wait for Santa, before I can put my sway bar in place.... and wait for the first sighting of birds, to know the water's drained off enough to ryde...
