Yesterday I preformed the annual job known as putting a bike up for the winter. The days have been getting shorter and the temperatures cooler. With the change back to Standard Time, sunset it due at about 4:15 PM tonight here in the great State of Maine. The next time we will have a longer day will be in mid-February and the warming of the atmosphere will be slow to happen. I think Mother Nature is trying to tell me something.
I'd gone for a short ride Thursday and encountered an area when it had recently rained. I stayed dry but Bonnie really got filthy so yesterday I spent an hour in the morning giving here a cleanup. Fenders, tank, rims, spokes, windshield, the whole shooting match. She looks pretty good if I must say so myself. I then added 4 ounces of fuel stabilizer and rode off the the nearest gas station and topped her off. It's likely that the three mile ride back to base got the stabilizer and gas well mixed. So it was into the garage and up on the center stand. I waited a bit for the pipes to cool. Then the tender was plugged in and the cover went on. Sleep tight little Bonnie, enjoy your hibernation!
