Default Winter Projects?

It seems almost every weekend here in New York is warm enough to ride. The only winter projects I've been able to do were to install a rear spoiler and a horn. Other longer-term projects might have to wait until next winter...

That is a nice position to be in. Better that than not being able to ride and plenty of time to fuss with your bike. Enjoy!

I missed a bunch of riding over the last couple of weeks, but December and the first part of January was pretty crappy here, so I didn't miss a whole lot. Finished up this week on my winter mods, PYO 12" Monkey Bars, 30t trans pulley and a 107 build with ported heads and Woods TW8 cams.

Seems like Europe and the US Northwest got the bad weather this winter. I am simpathetic after last winter here. I'm not complaining about the weather. I'm always prepared. I put the bike away with a full tank, add some Sta-Bil (Marine Type) and connect the Battery Tender. Then I do it all over again the following Sunday.
