January 24th and it was +2 degrees today; ice and snow melting down, driving the cage with window down - oh so nice...but have to temper this with the knowledge that there is still 2 months or more before the roads are fit for the "rain-maker"; after the roads are swept clean of the salt and grit from the winter road maintenance.
I've already started preparing the bike - it's more of something to do than actual prep's but in the dead of winter, one needs something to keep sane.
Saddle bags are off, (and cleaned and conditioned), and I pulled the windshield to scrub down the last remnants of bug goo that were missed before parking it.
Next will be the typical spring tune up items, plugs, filters and fluids, (i am not sure how to get away with the fluid changes in the high rise parking garage just yet but that is half the challenge) and finally a new boot for the front.
Small plans and easy tasks, only something to keep busy while waiting for the season to start!
Come on summer!
