To Harley Or Not To Harley, That Is The Question?

Always premium. Usually put stable in there. Thats all. Or is it called stabil. Something like that. My boyfriend usually puts it in because he knows how much.
He said he only puts stabil in it because i don't use it much. He puts it in all of the machines. He doesn't have a motorcycle, he has a license but its kinda scary when he tries to ride lol.
SO, today i put 54 miles on it. It was fun . I took myself to lunch. It was a good day. I might even ride it to work Wednesday.

Yeah, if you are not using up the gas regularly, then you are a perfect candidate for some Sta-bil treatment. The other option is to only put the gas in that you might use within a certain amount of time. It is good to get your tank to run as close to empty from time to time to ensure you are getting most of the old gas out of the system. My girlfriend does not understand this, so when the cars are at half a tank, she wants to fill up! My explanations hold no sway, so it is what it is. The problems with letting it get low are running out of gas (duh), more stops at the gas station (booo) and possible rusting on the inside of the fuel tank of your bike that never gets touched with any gas.

Great that you are getting out, enjoy the season, it will be gone before you know it! That goes for you as well @la szum ! Next time your friends come over and you decide the ride is not worth it, count your miles this season, maybe it will push you over the edge on that BAD decision to not go ;~)) Think what all of those "wing-ladies" (other riders SO's) could have done for you in scouting the crowd and thinning the heard of ladies that would have been wanting the double-up spot on your machine ;~))
 
That is epic! I have driven the entire length of the Lewis & Clark Highway. From Lewiston, ID to Missoula, MT?? :unsure:

Swam and bathed in the Snake River. Seemed like it followed right along the River the entire way through Idaho.

Man, loved that stretch of road. So great. :chef

That was all in a Toyota Pathfinder. Maybe someday on a bike. :LOL:
Yeah, that road in any vehicle is magical! Get there on the bike though!! I have a vision of you making that journey in the summer of 2025 (but do it well before and/or after Sturgis so you don't have half the countries HD riders in that region of the country)!!!

I always keep it full. I heard that it can rust if you don't. Years ago before I used stable my brother showed me how to clean out the carburetor. That was on my sportster. Since we used stabil i haven't had to do that. I think i have had the superglide 6 years and never had to take the carburetor off. Supposedly the sportster takes the same carburetor. I do remember something about the air filter. My boyfriend took it off and cleaned it i think? I really don't like it when he takes my stuff apart.
 
Enjoy what’s left weather wise !
This time of year with the leaves beginning to fall around here can be a hazard.
Accumulating wet leaves can leave a stain in your underwear 🩲
Absolutely! The things we have to watch out for are so much more important than when driving a car. My wife used to tell me she felt the safest with me on the motorcycle.

Although I did have a nervous gf. We were on a hilly country road at night, so I tried to alleviate her concerns by telling her that as I come up to a rise in the road, I'm actually watching for headlights shining off the trees up above us, to know when vehicles are approaching us.

Checking for oncoming headlights in the trees or telephone wires was very important when we would road race at night with our cars back in the day.
 
Now if they hadn't dropped in unexpected... :sofa I keed!! :beer:rofl;)

First thing I said to him? :hmm

Seriously. :LOL:

They make these things called cellphones where you can call and text people
and "communicate." :farley

His Wife chided him. Slightly. He laughed.

We compromised. They went and had Breakfast in town and I stayed home for
Coffee and Guitar for an hour before meeting up. :banana

In all seriousness dude, I am jealous of your sense of self-discipline.
 
It's really just the thing that has helped me and my mental health the most this past
several months, Tom. I value it because it helps me feel ok about myself. No one
esle is gonna stop me but me, sort of thing. :idk

I also have my moments and moods where I can't be bothered to do jackshit--like
last night. :LOL:

Lord knows I have enough to still work on in many, many areas. :hugitout
 
Fun day! Over 200 miles. Couple of stops at Breweries. Back home safe and sound. :banana
Got to get those late season rides in while you still can!!! Gonna have some uncharacteristically nice weather for a bit!!!
 
For sure. Today was perfect with the light winds and perfect temps.

Not much colour out there yet. Rode over to Petoskey where we hung out
on the Bay for a bit, and then through Indian River and Onaway south down
through Atlanta.

We are gonna try and head out tomorrow afternoon for a shorter trip just to
go grab a bite to eat and then back home. These days are a blessing for sure! :chef
 
Headed back out this afternoon.
