Derek you've comitted a sin. You've shown us a clean beautiful BMW when it's rainy & gloomy & cold outside. If that's an old pic taken in fair weather then ok but don't torture a poor man. 
Hi Folks
Everyone talks about how good Stabil is for winter layup and I have used it on many engines. My dealer says do not use it unless you want seal damage. Since most seem to use it, there should be a serious rush for seal replacement job, which I haven't heard about.
Any ideas.
SE WI is going to be 40 f today and I would be out if there wasn't a quarter mi of ice between the bike and the town road.
Merry Christmas

What seals is he talking about? Fuel systems have o-rings, but not seals in the conventional meaning of the term. At any rate, I've used Stabil in both airheads and K-bikes for many years, and other vehicles and never had a problem. I'd be curious what he's referring to.

Maybe he's talking about clubbing baby seals (you would need the really big bottle of Stabil to do this right).
But since most Beemer riders are too old to go clubbing, that's probably not it.

Clubbing? Isn't that similar to bar-hopping?
