aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ....
Not the GS, but 4 others are nice and shiny and ready to run ... after I busted my ass last weekend fixing them ... savage had no rear T/Ses and trust me it wasn't a simple slam dunk ... aftermarket T/Ses are 3 inches short on wire. Hell it was prolly less than 3 inches short. The virago needed spark plugs (it eats them every 3 months or so) and those weren't easy to find BTW at local car shops, Air Maxim had no tail light ... problem was in the ignition switch, someone had taped the bottom electrical part instead of screwing it in ... and the water max had a water leak which automagically disappeared after riding it 5-10 mins. Me thinks its over filling. Monday was MLK day, then Tuesday it was rain, wednesday I worked from home due to wifey's doc appt, thursday I had to give my son a ride to school cos wifey's ankle was supposed to be rested, friday was rain as well ... damn ...

What's this winter storage thing all about?   :bs: :icon_razz:
Every zero you add to the tolerance adds a zero to the price.

If the product "fails" will the product liability insurance pay for the "failure" until it turns 18?

Studs...spikes...chains...knobbies....there are always options. I always had a blast riding my dirt bike in the snow.

I read someone on this site say "winterize the rider, not the bike."  I haven't owned a car in 3 years.  My GS is the only way I go.
My riding season is 12 months long.

Rode on New Years Eve and one more time the first week of January. Temps and weather certainly did a turn for the worst over here though. Snow, Ice, Snow, some more Ice and its been freezing. Have relatives that moved to Australia and its been like 90.F  :bowdown:

I just dump some Stabilizer in all the tanks and fire them up every week. Thats my winter storage.

Hopefully only another month or so and we will be cruisin Niagara again  :thumb:.

Oh yea rode the damn virago 1100 today. Looks on the faces of the car clowns was .... prick less ...
Yea ...
