It's the same ritual every fall, this week I finished mothballing my bikes for the winter, sigh!
Last Wednesday was a beautiful mild day at around 15C (59F) so that was the day to warm the oil and change it.
The bikes are all inside where it's warm and dry, but wouldn't you know it, the past three days have been very mild and some of my buddies are out riding to coffee, lunch or taking a short coastal run.
Oh well, you can't have everything and I would rather work in an unheated garage on a mild day than on a cold day - and will quickly get colder.
I didn't do as much riding this year because of the unusual hot and humid weather, but next year if we have similar weather I'm going to do some early morning breakfast runs or coastal loops along the ocean before it gets hot, windy or both.
The heat and humidity of the day was just too much for me even in a mesh jacket and I refuse to not wear a jacket. My Eskimo blood just can't take it
As we like to say here, "I'll see you in the spring if I don't see you earlier in the mattress."
