Hi guys, winter is near for a lot of you. I was curious about everyone's plans for the winter months. I'm planing on some FI long tubes and other breather mods around the first of the year. Excited to get around to doing some mods to this ole girl!

I'm fortunate enough to be in a climate I don't have to put mine away for winter. However I lived in northern Illinois for some time and understand the struggle!

Hahaha, not at all. Just curious about what others have going on with their builds. I may be guilty of attempting to accelerate my learning process on this new to me platform.

My winter projects include working on my thesis and researching timber frame construction for the house my wife and I want to build... do those count?

My non-immediate plans include building a tube-frame supercharged Hayabusa-powered light coupe and maybe doing a few track days on my Duc.

Being retired, my winter projects consist of sleeping in, playing pickleball, working on my model railroad, and most importantly, cuddling with my soft and sexy woman.

Planning on filling up with gas once a week or so. And driving it like I normally do. (after putting on snow tires).

Weird. It's opposite where I'm from. A buddy of mine runs a dehumidifier in his garage all winter.
