Baka - I see you sold the 883 already!
When you bought the 1200 and said you'd have 3 bikes for a while, I figured that meant the rest of this season and all of next year!

The 1200 is your new traveling companion now?

New tires and oil. Ready to ride here in AZ (although it is a bit rainy today).

One of the best things you can do for your bike is to store it where there's no condensation, even if that means renting a storage room. If you want to spray something on your bike for storage, BoeShield and similar products are made just for
that.

Big bubble filled with nitrogen and no o2. Has worked wonders.
