Unhappy Sad Day!

Got Annie cleaned up, covered up, and the tender plugged in.....................................for the Winter.

It was especially hard this year because I've only had her 2 weeks.

I hate this day.

I feel your pain, brother. I put mine away 2 weeks ago. Many times in the past I bought bikes in the winter, when they were a little cheaper, and put them straight away.

Thankfully I find at least one day per month that is suitable for riding, even if only for an hour or so.

I had to put mine up a few months ago after only being able to ride her 800 miles this summer. I bought mine this summer and had back surgery a few months after which really put a glitch in my plans of some long rides. Looking at doing some good rides here in Alaska next summer though. Want to hit Denali and Circle AK, and up the Dalton to the Arctc circle maybe. Can't wait for the summer....
