Getting the car serviced today, 0.4 deg. C this morning, saw a truck with snow on the hood from a little further north and decided to winterize the RT. Had a good summer of fun driving and touring. Looking forward to a tour in New Zealand in Nov. 2014. Have a great winter riding in the south!

Saw some flurries the other day. Just drained the garden hoses and stored them, already rearranged the garage and put the mower in the back and the blowers in the front. Test ran the blowers, both started on the first pull. Had the airhead out today for a bit.

We moved to Montana because of the short and easy winters we have here; used to live in Fairbanks. So far (two years) it has proven true. There have been rideable days every month. By rideable I mean clear roads and temps of at least forty. Expect a high of 64 tomorrow; a high of 27 on Monday.

Another month or so and it might almost be bearable,
The cool weather is coming but that's part of the reason I bought an RT. heated seat, grips and a vest make riding into the 30's/ 40's just fine as long as the roads are snow and ice free.
I try to ride it year round but When the roads get too snotty for the bike, I go skiing!

Well it might have been May but that looks great! Gotta love the slopes, it really is my favorite pastime!

Someone asked me yesterday if I had "put the bike up." I don't formally take the bike out of service. We will still get some warm days before weather conditions prevent riding, and there's always the chance of a thaw, with no-salt conditions during the winter, so the riding season never formally ends, as far as I am concerned.

We got our first Fall snowfall yesterday: about 10 cm.
I was returning from a 4 day trip on Sunday afternoon, and rode through the cold front about 5 km from home. Talk about perfect timing. We had been talking about adding a day to the trip, but luckily I had work to do yesterday, so my buddy and I were spared a nasty ride.
These September storms are not that common, and we have a warm weekend coming up.

...Yup and another 10 cm predicted tonight but Friday looks good for a ride.

We finished out trip a couple days earlier than the time we had allotted. Not because of the pending weather downturn, but fortunate in light of it. We just rode a few more miles each day than anticipated. We've had to ride through snow before on a trip and doing so again is not something we look forward to so it was good to be home with the bikes tucked in in the garage.

Threats of flurries in western NE later this week. 6" of rain and washout near me last night. I wont be winterizing but it may be time to hang up the air jacket and pull down the Kili.
did I hear right that some dude in a desert was building a big boat?
