Winter Prep or service recommendations for GS's based in San Diego, CA

Poway · 11-18-2012, 08:17 AM

As the rest of the country hits/braces for freeezing, I'm wondering if I should be doing anything special for our 80 degrees, crystal blue sky, winter days ahead.

Maybe it's time to upgrade that 1999 BMW GS1100R to a 2013?

That should keep you occupied until "Spring" arrives.

You sure these aren't the PRICE PER LITER, as in Canada?
Was SOOOOOOOOOO glad to return to the U.S. after visiting AB and BC!

You have to change out the corona in your side pannier for Dos Equis. That should have been done in October. I can't believe you waited so long.

I escaped from San Diego 17 years ago and now can't even visit the city without a feeling of disgust. Smog, impersonal strangers, taggers, asshat drivers, nearly everything paved and visiting the mall passes as recreation for a large chunk of the population, crowds and traffic everywhere you go. Every day the same as the one before except for the two weeks called spring before the green turns brown for the other 50 weeks.

No thanks!

Yes. Move away...your state is broke. You'll be paying more taxes soon.

Oh, and change your oil to the winter blend to match your fuel.
