Did the un-winterizing today. It was so nice to hear that engine roar again!

Also changed from mineral to synthetic oil. I'll let you know if I notice difference.

Only thing I have left to do is to change the brake and coolant fluids.

good woirk Louis! I will be taking my SV out for a short ride today, but the primary bike is coming out to stay....

...sorry SV...

In theory, the weather should be nice enough for me to ride to work tomorrow.

Congrats, its nice to get to ride around again huh? I gotta wait for the tornados to scoot on by and then I will be racking up the miles... again

I would hate living up north. I ride year round down here. People still think I'm crazy when they see me out in Jan/Feb though...

pssh, the old girl didn't want to idle and stay running and I was far too impatient to work the choke and get everything just right...She has been fickle since the pipe and jet kit

Got on the VZ choked it and started right up.
