if I ever sell my bike I'll put never seen the rain, in Spain, on the plain...


well... unless I get stationed in Europe next... cause it probably will. (that is unless there are not plains in Spain.

During the riding season (March - November) the bike sits in my garage. In the off season I keep it at my parents farm. We've got an old farm house that is just used for storage. The TL, CBR and my dads Kawi Vulcan, CB900SS, and a Nighthawk all stay in the "family room" of the house.

It sounds 'billy as hell, I know. I'll have to snap a few pics

yes, I did start up the knipco
touche, but at 30 or -30 grabbing a ratchet with bare hands is not fun, although at -30 you may not keep your fingers for very long.

yup, you learn the fine art of wrenching wearing insulated gloves. Not fun when dealing with small parts.

I hated that, I would wear the winter gloves which were thick and bulky so I was dropping small parts left and right. I am so glad those days are over.

until we bought our house last yr, it was under covered private parking (townhouse) now the bike stays in a nook in the garage.

"Never seen rain" reminds me of "lady driven" or "driven by a little old lady" ...clearly women don't drive fast or abuse vehicles.

sounds like a warning label to me. Another good one is ''never raced''
