Default Another Year Bites the Dust

Not waiting for the first snowfall, “Jolene” has had her fuel stabilized, tires pumped up, washed & waxed, battery tendered and covered. Now, wasting time looking at stuff for next year, new helmet, handlebars, exhaust, etc...

Sta-Bil? And di du run 'er so the stabilzer get's into the line etc.... not just the fuel tank?

I am a Floridian asking a Canadian this question to make sure the northern did it right. LOL!

But, I used to live in NH and had to do that with my snow blower.

Ontario eh mate? I used to go up to Hamilton annually. Stopped at Tally Ho for RB sandwich. <-- GD food!!

Went for a 30 minute short ride with stabilizer in the tank.
Hamilton is a great place, went to university there (McMaster), surprising how many super restaurants there are there yet you never hear about them.

2020 has sucked in a lot of ways.

Hopefully the next one will be better. I’ve never been but — Port Dover 13 in November?

Storage day is a tough one. Heated garage? Beer fridge?

I’d like to do handlebars soon. Thinkin 14” this time. The drivetrain is under warranty. I’m leaving this motorcycle drivetrain alone for a while. If/ when I do it’ll be cams and Fullsac with TTS I think.

im due to replace my main / touring helmet. Pricy, but I’m going Neotec 2. My Neotec (1) has been awesome, and my Multitec also awesome before that. Contemplating a different colour than gloss black. Motorcycle is grey (metallic) so maybe the anthracite (sp?).

Trip landing is fun too. I use Google maps a LOT and then plan with pencil and paper, followed by a Google sheet with distances / times etc.

Happy Halloween.

Had her packed away for the season with fuel stabilizer and all, but it’s looking like this weekend in Souther Ontario is going to be a beaut!

Not yet, and someone mentioned Port Dover, they're asking to stay away due to Covid, I'll respect that this year .....

I just got into the house from likely my last ride for 2020 it was a cool -1 by the time I got in. Weathernet has the next 14 days with most highs not above zero.
