A Sad Day Indeed!

Being new to the HD world i discovered a new kind of saddness yesterday. I had to get my new to me Road King ready for the winter storage.(since i am a fair weather rider) Then i realized that i wouldn't ride again till the sun decides to bless the great state of Oregon again. A sad day indead! I did however get to detail the bike before covering it for the winter. So that did bring a smile to my face! Even though it took me 4 hours to do. (i am a little anal about my bike) I stripped all the wax off with dawn dishsoap, went over the paint twice with meguires fine cut polish, once with swirl remover 2.0, then put a coat of glaze and finally 2 coats of yellow wax. Now with stabile and fuel drier in the tank and the battery tender hooked up the bike is buckled down for the winter. I think i shed a tear or two as i buckled the bike cover. A sad day indead!
 
My bikes are all tucked up in the sheds and I am fully into autumn mode getting my garden ground ready for the winter and spring and have no plans for the bikes this winter but I will say hello to them as I am in and out of the sheds for tools etc

1 more reason I moved to Florida, I could not stand the winter lay up, tho I had been known to ride in the snow:D
 
But remember, you will be like a kid on Christmas when that Spring day arrives and you can uncover the steed and go for the first ride of the season.......:newsmile01:
 
First ride in spring is always a special event can be as early as mid march or as late as early june although 2 bikes get inspection in late april can be great weather or really miserable just have to wait and see what happens

If we're lucky down here, we park them for a month (prep time for March). I couldn't imagine putting her to bed for 2 or 3 months.

I feel your pain:shock

Kinda like Jack over in Florida, ALWAYS a sunny day close by...:newsmile01: but even a little better here. :D
