1st ride of 2017

[Django]

Django congrats. Wow that is a long time to go without riding. Bet it felt great. Is using a gas stabilizer a common custom in Germany too?

Yeah, 2 month no riding, that's long to me. However, most of us here in Germany do a longer winter break, from November to March, April or May.

Last year I did ride every month, this year we had an unusual cold January with perma frost and much snow. Now the snow has gone and temps are rising daily and recently some rain washed the plenty of salt off the roads.

Gas stabilizer is not common at all in Germany. No problem with half year old gas or older. Good quality.

I bought a Kawa ER-5 for my daughter a few years ago. That bike had not been ridden for more than 2 years. I emptied the tank and used up the fuel in my Beemer, mixing it in liter wise.
