Over.

Unfortunately my motorcycling season has come to an end. I did get to ride in great weather on Friday (almost 70!) but had a chilly trip home and with the weather forecast looking cold - highs in the low 40's and lower - for the time being, I decided it was time to put er down. Today I changed the oil, oil filter, added a fuel stabilizer, and put the battery on a charger. That should take me through winter in good shape to get riding again in the spring.
I was thinking adding heated grips might get me a bit farther into the year, but really if it is 40's during the day it'll be 20's at night and heated grips or not, that is too cold! Plus that would be 100 bucks I would put into the bike that I wouldn't get back when I sell it, though it looks as though I may not be selling as soon as I thought.
Katie has expressed an interest in learning how to ride! We were going to go across the street today, but it is just too cold and I wanted to get it set up for winter. Once things warm up some, I guess I will teach her the basics and then she will take the same class I took and then take over this bike.
I have finally gotten some of our movies from our trip together, though I still have yet to edit. First I needed an external hard drive, as I didn't have enough room on ours. Then I tried the editing software that came with the camera. It sucks, so I went to windows movie maker which I have used before. But then the file format the camera uses isn't recognized by wmm. Eventually I downloaded a free program to convert the files to a format recognized by wmm. Hopefully soon I will have something.
Not much else going on really. I am really looking forward to some time off and seeing my family.
