First stop for some new gas.... stopped and got some SeaFoam and dumped it in at O'Rielly's.... ON sale.. buy 2 get 1 free..... got 3.....

Miss was pretty much gone by this time , just had to get the old gas thru I guess......  So went off for a 60 mile ride around town, on the Eway..... just puttered and rode.... Bike ran fine.... but will be spending a day Desmogging later this week or so...... New tire soon, but i can squeek another 1000 out of this one with no long trips......

Never put mine away this year.  If the temps were around 40ish I was on the road.  Did about 400 miles Sunday.  Left Monroe, MI and headed south and west.  Just got lost.

Rode 70 more last night just screwing around and plan more tonight.

Im like LandElephant, I rode on newyears this year, I had the cover on for a week, went out there to put the tender on the battery, said why not, took it for a ride, and put the cover away.  I have put on a couple hundred miles a month minimum since it got "cold" but then again, Kansas has not really had winter yet.
