Racing Snow
Today was the day.
I got up with the intention of completing my YZF winter prep work. The air was cold with overcast skies. Snow was moving in within an hour or two, so I needed to be efficient with my time. I knew this would be my last opportunity for a long while to get fuel and prep the tank for the winter. All things considered, I would have rather stayed home where is was warm and dry.
I rode the 4 miles up to North Plains, added my stabilizer and filled up my bike. Gas is down to $2.179 for Premium. The genius at the gas station asked me if I was cold then proceeded to tell me how crazy I am for riding in this weather. Thanks for the tip, Obi Wan.
While I was riding back home, the snow started to fall. Such fun. I managed to stay in the tracks of the cars proceeding me all of the way to my street. After a very slow right turn with both feet in outrigger mode, I made it into my driveway and garage. The YZF is now parked and prep’d. With the occasional battery charge, everything should be good until the crocus burst through in a few months. Until then, I will keep riding my DL as often as possible.
Now, if I could just figure out what I am going to do about that damaged pipe on the YZF…
