How's the weather up there this week? Looking good here for my day off wednesday but I won't have much time to ride more than 50-60 miles probably. I skipped riding to work this past saturday as there was 80% chance of storms, ended up being bright and sunny with 0 rain go figure.

When it comes to rain, best to error on the side of caution.

You may do less miles than me in a day but you are certainly getting out more frequently lol. I think I am around 22-23k on mine purchased new june 2014.

Been able to ride more since I retired and started collecting my pension. But I plan to pick some kind of job up just to keep me busy. A little young right now for full retirement.

Had to run into work for about an hour yesterday and wanted to ride anyways so just went the long backroads way to work and back, got in about 70 miles. Should be able to ride in this saturday morning as well.
On a side note I'm under contract to buy a house in the next few weeks and will not have a garage anymore to keep the low rider in. It's going to my parents garage for a little while until I get something to store it in at the new house. Anyone using a storage shed/building to house their bikes? Any tips on what to buy to keep it in the best shape inside there without condensation and whatnot?

I have always had garages for my cars and bikes, so I do not have any advice or experience when it comes to alternative ways to store a bike.
I do not see why a small shed would not work fine. It will provide shelter and keep fools from trying anything.

The house you are buying does not have a garage or it has a garage too small to keep the LR in?

thats not to say it couldnt or wouldnt be stolen so I do want it locked up, just that compared to my previous address in the city the chance of a random theft is much lower.

it does not have a garage at all unfortunately. The building/shed will be more about protection from the elements than theft. The house is out in the middle of nowhere, someone would really have to go out of their way to find the house or motorcycle.

I'm in the same boat, except my part-time retirement job isn't to keep me busy but to provide healthcare for my wife and I. I still have a backlog of honey-dos and assorted projects to keep me busy for the rest of my days. The Lowrider is my everyday commuter ride to work now.
