Wintering traditions for the Valk

[Sonny]

Down here in good old Missouri we don't have many of those 20 below zero days.  So if it's above 20 degrees I ride.  That keeps the costs to winterize a bare minimum.  I prefer the cooler weather but way up north man it's just flat out cold.
Good luck at keep'in her warm.

Also .... if you have open exhaust it works really well to stuff the ends with steel wool to keep the mice out .   

An Excellent piece of advice!!!  this really is a problem if you've ever expierenced a plugged exhaust system!!

83 degrees today. What is this 'winterizing' that has so many working on?

I winterized mine Fri , installed  the National City Smoke tinted wind deflecters on infront of my hand grips, plugged in the Gerbing jacket liner and gloves. Checked  good .Thought I might need them for my ride to Hannibal Mo. Sat.  With temps in the 70s I didn't need them yet. But I live in the woods and have a atv and a lawn tractor the mice played hell with last winter. I screwed some sreen in the intake and exhaust on both of them last spring. Not window screen, it had mesh about 1/4 inch. Its worked so far.
