It's clean. Winter can end any time now.

After a month of weekends and a few weekday evenings the GSA sidecar rig is clean, the wiring inspected and in some cases rerouted or protected by wire loom, the Krista lights installed where the OEM fogs used to be, a new tire on the rear, and a tool tube installed inboard of the right pannier. The sidecar has been cleaned of a year's worth of road grime, the finish polished then five coats of carnauba wax applied (during riding season all it gets is an occasional hosing to get the clumps of mud off). Next weekend I'll start installing Barley's new ragtop. After that I'll tear down the GS and clean, inspect and wax it. When that one is back together there are boxes of maps to pour over, dreams of next year's rides to ponder.

With luck, winter will end before I run out of things to do.

What is this clean stuff? My Ural looks like it just came from a pigsty. I spray the rig with Boeshield and ride. It looks terrible but under the Boeshield is a clean bike waiting to come out when the weather gets nice.

NW PA is the Deep South. Up here the road salt is simply brutal, and the tourists with their all season radials are deadly.

Besides, this is the only time of year I stop riding long enough to clean, inspect, install farkles and ponder next year's adventures. :thumb
 
Sorry. Useless w/o pictures... ;)

What's "winter" ?

:nyah

Winter is the season we rely on to keep all the riff raff out, kill all bugs, and provide opportunities for sports other than those we enjoy other times of the year. People who live in places where the weather rarely changes are really missing out.

It looks like this:
