?????Winter???? that doesnt mean you just dress warmer when you ride? Had to check to make sure I wasnt on the Jet Ski forum.
Sky is bluer, wind is crisp, less traffic, lower hotel prices, beaches are empty.

Wont be too much longer now and it will be time to think about the last ride of the season which usually ends with me wheeling the RK into the garage for its final cleaning, and winterizing. I think the one thing that concerns me every winter is those days that the humidity in the garage is just right, along with the temperature, that I get condensation on the bike. Even though bike is well protected with polishing and waxes and gas and engine treatment products, and battery is on the trickle charger... I always get concerned when I see this. I usually throw the garage heater on for a bit until weather conditions change, but still is a sickening feeling.
How do you guys in the north deal with this?
Paying for storage is out of the question as the divorce and subsequent "financial agreement" has me on limited resources for a few more years....
Thanks all!!
Ride safe, stay vertical

Clean and good wax, put a few extra PSI in the tires and check before I take it out first ride, full gas tank, fresh change of fluids in all 3 holes, and plug in the battery tender then cover it.
SE Michigan here....no issues.
