Well unless you live in the south... then :gofurslf:
The white flying stuff is in flight and on it's way.
Well we all know that the temps dropped the heck out right after turkey day.
My father in law has gotten solid snow fall the past 2 weekends up near Mancelona. He just got another 10" this weekend. The other day we had our first dusting.
So with mornings like today at 22* on my way to work, and highs not clearing above freezing...
It is time... once again. I will have the bike given it's last wash of the year. Bringing it back into work today to do in the heated garage. Wash, clay, wax, seafoam. Then back to the house for oil change.
I sad...

This is what it is doing here. Stickin to the cars, grass, and curbs. But not real accumilation.
Nothing here yet, lows are just below freezing and still hitting the mid 40's durring the day. its only a matter of time though.
I wish, I was still riding in that. Now it's high about 27-30 and no thanks to that. Plus this week I start night shift again and no way I'll be riding around at 2, 3, 4 am and shit when it's 14* out.
So I wrangled Cave into the project for his bike's benifit. If I don't he'll never do it. I swear I'm his only motivation at times! :D
We left the house, got to the gas station to add seafoam & top off the tanks. Then rode to my work where we commenced washing the bikes in the heated garage and nice warm water.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l311/cjclark69/Ultra%20Classic/Mods/2KX%20Winterize%20N%20Mod/2010EOYService009.jpg
We washed, clay bar, and waxed both of them.
Then take a 115mph jaunt down the highway, to flush the seafoamed gas thru the system and get the ole bikes warm. Back to my house for simotaneous oil changes.
http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l311/cjclark69/Ultra%20Classic/Mods/2KX%20Winterize%20N%20Mod/2010EOYService016.jpg
Each bike runs 4qrts in the motor, 1qrt 6oz in the primary, and 1 qrt in the trans. However, when I run the oil scavenger (to flush the motor & oil pump with fresh oil) it takes another 1.5 qrts to do that. So basically 8qrts per bike. You end up with a pile!!
http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l311/cjclark69/Ultra%20Classic/Mods/2KX%20Winterize%20N%20Mod/2010EOYService022.jpg
Many hours later both bikes are done, Cave's at his house and mine all tucked in for her winter nap.
http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l311/cjclark69/Ultra%20Classic/Mods/2KX%20Winterize%20N%20Mod/2010EOYService033.jpg
Now all buttoned up.. both bikes. Plus they learned how to share space with the wife's car.
http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l311/cjclark69/2010EOYService034.jpg
Stay tuned for the start of the modifications for the ultra... nothing too much, but I can't let the Nightster get all the attention.

we got 4 inches of snow on Sat morning. I hate shoveling. the first snow I usually shovel because the gravel isn't froze in place yet and the snowblower acts more like a machine gun. good thing the drive is only 175 feet long and two cars wide.

TAMPA - According to meteorologists around the nation, Florida is the only state in the entire country without snow right now.
After big snow and ice events in the Southeast, Plains, and Midwest this week, 49 out of the 50 states currently have snow on the ground – yes, even Hawaii, where snow falls in Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea all winter.
The only state that has avoided this icy blast is Florida. Does that make you want to go on a nice, warm vacation to the Sunshine State? You're not alone.
