It rained all day Christmas Eve and last nite so the roads were clear and the thermometer was pushing fifty. I wanted to drain all the old gas out of the Norton anyway before the real winter hits, riding it dry seemed like a much better idea! I took it to my favorite set of twisties and did a short ride of about 35 minutes. I do not understand my gas situation though, its been 182 miles since I filled up at the pump! I did put in a splash of 104 octane, it must have been a bigger splash then I thought. I was thinking my gas light must have died?
Anyway the Norton ran perfect and the traffic was lite, just a touch of sand on the road in a few spots but it didn't bother me. I was worried about the cold temp and tires but the Norton handled it like it was still summer. I am glad I went!
When I got back a Harley friend came over so the Harley got a short workout too, it was cooling off by then, but all in all a great Christmas!
