Default great timing
Last week I decided to lay my sled up i changed the oil and put it up on jacks. i guess my timing was good we had about a foot of snow yesterday here in Connecticut. that's it for the season got about a three and a half month wait before its back on the road.on the bright side the days are now starting to get longer. you guys who live in warm climates are lucky. its going to be a long winter I cant wait for spring

No snow here, but work is ramping up so my riding time will be greatly reduced. I got all my mods done and oil changed over the past few weeks. i just have a progressive lowering kit and sidemount plate to mount, but those will have to wait a while.

I hear you, spring is comming. How do you like the 257's? I was thinking of upgrading to them or the 259e over the winter.

Same here in Holland at least 1 foot of snow. That's much for over here. Can not wait to get on the bike again. And that's a guy saying who loves hockey.
