RE: Winter is here. - 2

All this talk of aging...I'm reminded 80 is just over a year away. Periodically I'll head over to the RR board to get a hit of youthful testosterone-laden twisty-bombing talk, seasoned liberally with full exhaust recommendations and ECU flashes.

Eat well for the majority of your meals (fresh, organic, non-processed food), exercise and think like you did in your 20's. Stay debt-free, be in non-toxic relationships and spend a lot of time in nature. Sad to see the condition of many young people these days - their later years may not be fun.

Best of luck.

Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #10Zitat von soch im Beitrag #8[quote=Lee|p64947]Our bikes have sat for a long time so this week I got both bikes out and rode about 170 miles each to get rid of old gas, cleaned the road dust off and put them away for the winter.We\'ll probably sell one in the spring.But why sell? With her arthritis you can no longer ride her bike. Maybe time for an RT so she can still come along?

I tell ya what, I just picked up my first GS and absolutely love it -- put a couple hundred miles on it this weekend. I didn't get the adaptive height control, but did demo one that had the option. It is indeed a game changer for those under say 5'9 and worked quite well. I do wonder how well that system will hold up over the years though.

I'm down in Sykesville Maryland. In my area, they spray some sort of brine solution on the roads ahead of and winter precipitation. They call it pretreating the roads. It's some really corrosive stuff. The mechanic that works on my cars says since they've started using that stuff on the roads, he takes a torch under the car with him all the time or he can't break bolts loose. The first time that stuff hits the roads is when I call off riding for the season. I have a Gerbing heated jacket and glove set and my ride to work is only 20 miles. That gear keeps me plenty warm for the short ride to and from work. I don't do any pleasure riding when it's cold, just commuting. When I do finally put the bike away, I add stabilizer to the tank and fill it, plug in the battery tender and put the bike up on the center stand.
