Because of my trip this year I let my Vstrom insurance lapse last July. And because insurance is too expensive for my R1200R I only insured for the summer and it just expired last Thursday. To insure both bikes for the year would be around $3K so I am trying to save insurance costs<br /><br />I don't envy you with your snow but it does look nice "from a distance"<br /><br />For the past week we have been blanketed with FOG.

I think I'll have to get the 5 gallon can filled, top off the bikes, and let them run in the garage to get the Sta-bil mixed in.<br /><br />The township doesn't plow the side streets well enough to make me a year round rider. Once winter is here to stay, the side roads get pretty bad. I think I'd need 3 wheels under me to keep things upright.
