dalv Posted March 17, 2011 Share #2 Posted March 17, 2011 Hey Steamer, Been too long after this winter. Was ready to ride and found out I needed a new battery - Skydoc sending one out asap so until then she sits in the barn. Congrats on the ride - hope to be out there soon. Let the Season BEGIN!!!!!

steamer Posted March 18, 2011 Author Share #3 Posted March 18, 2011 Keep my battery on a tender all winter.at first I didn't think she was going to start,had to crank her over several times,then it happened...first one cylinder then 2 then 3 and 4.let her idle on the choke for about a minute,then idle for about five minutes and away we go! She spit and sputtered alittle then settled out ran real good.Can't wait to burn off this gas and fill her up with fresh gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OB-1 Posted March 18, 2011 Share #5 Posted March 18, 2011 My first ride of the year was yesterday! It's been a long cold snowy winter here. The snow and ice finally melted off the road and the mud was dried up to a navigational level so i finally got to ride! Rode again today, but it was a chilly 40F.

Phoneman1981 Posted March 18, 2011 Share #9 Posted March 18, 2011 Hello Everyone: Experiencing a few above average days for March in western Nebraska. My wife actually asked to go ride yesterday. Rode two hours after work. Snow predicted for tonight. First poker run of the season is scheduled for this Sunday. (Weather permitting) Take care everyone.

KarlS Posted March 18, 2011 Share #10 Posted March 18, 2011 Me too me too!!! Got my first ride of the year in today. The old 83VR had to set covered under the awning all winter because it got snowed and iced in early. Went out yesterday and 2 cranks and it fired right up, aired tires, checked everything out and chipped away the remaining ice so it was ready to go today. Felt GOOOOOOOD.
