Thanks to all who helped me out. As for you EZRiderPGH YOU must have alotta 'friends' who think you are a completely qualified 100 proof *******. Why even contribute to this thread or forum unless you have something to offer by way of helpfulness and assistance. you r most likely one of those rare breed of birds who always alienate yourself from other people due to your snarkiness and general *******-ness. you can just nibble on my left ******** ok? To all others here thanbks a bunch for assisting a fellow rider..

 

Said like a true moron.

 

Well, maybe not. The Op asked a simple, motorcycle related question. There was no need to answer him the way you did.
Seems you are good at dishing out. Time to take some and eat a little humble pie.

 

No matter what forum you visit there is always a douche bag lurking around. Props to all the constructive posts.

 

well...the guy's got a point...it was a pretty low level question. LOGIC says why in the world would it be called winter storage if you were gonna run it every once in a while.

Check out the Iron Order MC page!

 

There's been a "myth" around as far back as I can remember, about running a motor once per month during storage, saying that it was a good thing.

It was NOT a lower level question. Besides, whatever happenned to "the only stupid question, is the one not asked".

Real Christmas spirit here today (not).

Bunch of fat egos,... think they know so much that they have to "talk down" to folks. Makes 'em feel better about themselves.

 

Seems a lot of riders here try to overdue the Harley experience. This is the right advice.

 

I wasn't talking down to anyone. I agree about asking question but then again forums also have search functions.

but no matter what..it is a pretty basic question

then again...I was going to post a pretty low level question myself today but I think I'll hold off

for the record I was not baggin on the OP.

I just got caught up in looking into the Iron Order MC...

 

Thank you Frenchman and Fast Ed,.
I appreciate your support. Evberyone talks so much about this supposed 'biker code' and 'the life' yet many are real quick to downgrade and talk down to up and comin riders new to this lifestyle. I asked the questions because i recieved conflicting accoounts. Cheers and hope you and all yours are in good health and happiness.

I agree that the bike should be dressed up,fuel tank full and stabilized, covered with a bedsheet or anyother breathable cover and left alone until the winter thaw. Back in 97 when i bought my first bike i posed this ? to a few trustworthy wrenches and they all advised me that starting him up does nothing for it. I have done this since and i have had 0 problems and my last bike sold after 10 years of owning it and it looked new!
