I'm putting the bike up for the winter

it's quite a production, so I'll be off this thing for a few days. Looking forward to seeing all that's happened out there when I get back. Battery tender, sta-bil and a bunch of other hooey I've got to do to the damned thing. But it's my baby, and I want to have her in top-notch condition, come spring and I'll be preparing for that first warm day we git. Something kinda sad about doing this...it's acknowledging that winter is coming, and we get hellish storms and snow here. It's best to do this after the first frost, and I've been waiting 'cuz we already had one a while back.

Don't worry, Joe, I'll be back to rip you a new one later.
