I may hold out a lil longer with the buell to try to get out and get some more miles in so I can do the break in oil change. Then prolly put it up foir the winter.

I bought 2 new bat tenders and jus tneed to get some stabil or seafoam.
How many miles on it now? I put mine away Sunday. I'd recommend Seafoam over Stabil. The Buell didn't seem to like Stabil last year.

Last pic before I put her away...just changed the oil, this was just prior to the bath, you can see the chin fairing is not re-installed. Filthy.

I am at 4 and change right now, if its above freezing I may take it to work saturday so that will be about 80 miles round trip. I also have a little free time next week so I may get out locally too.

I know I am a major disapointment

I woul donly take the bike to one jobsite, an dI dont work there too often otherwise I could easily hit the 600 in commuting miles. At the westchester site I have to ride it through the site, read a lot of dirt, mud and dust, and at the ER there are a lot of low life skells who like to sit on new shiny things that arent theirs and I would hate to go to jail for killing one of them

Rain and slush last night. Supposed to get much colder as the day goes on. I was hoping the snow on my roof would melt so I could change out the bad string of lights on the house. Now it looks loke that string may be up there all season.

Damn Marko, if that's filthy I'd hate to see what you say about mine! That doesn't look too bad

And I always use stabil, had no issues last year with the 25R.

Called my mom couple days ago, about 3 pm her time. It was about -8 then.

Guess there is an advantage of being here!
