I hate winter!

We seem to get iced over more than snow covered. Normally stays warm enough during the day it only freezing rain/sleets and then it all freezes into a nice sheet at night.

15 inches of wet crappy snow last night. bogged down the snowblower and broke my scraper for the Jeep. I hate winter, I used to snowmobile but we don't get enough snow to make that feasible anymore.
Time for house remodeling season I guess. yeah the bike is tucked away for a few months.

And don't give me no sob story about how I don't know what snow is here in KS. I grew up in A2.

My condolances on the onset of winter. Yes, it sucks.

I'm not saying we have the worst winter here. I'm just saying its sad... riding hibernation has started for me.

About 4 hrs after I stopped riding. While I was in the garage working... it started to snow and we had an inch or two on the ground.

I may hold out a lil longer with the buell to try to get out and get some more miles in so I can do the break in oil change. Then prolly put it up foir the winter.

I bought 2 new bat tenders and jus tneed to get some stabil or seafoam.

Good luck!

No shit. House remodeling was my gimick last hibernation. This year, hopefully just some wall repair and painting.

How many miles on it now? I put mine away Sunday. I'd recommend Seafoam over Stabil. The Buell didn't seem to like Stabil last year.

Last pic before I put her away...just changed the oil, this was just prior to the bath, you can see the chin fairing is not re-installed. Filthy.

I am at 4 and change right now, if its above freezing I may take it to work saturday so that will be about 80 miles round trip. I also have a little free time next week so I may get out locally too.

I know I am a major disapointment

I woul donly take the bike to one jobsite, an dI dont work there too often otherwise I could easily hit the 600 in commuting miles. At the westchester site I have to ride it through the site, read a lot of dirt, mud and dust, and at the ER there are a lot of low life skells who like to sit on new shiny things that arent theirs and I would hate to go to jail for killing one of them
