I'm down to ride, just not with you guys. (no offense)
I've got a friend visiting from CO so I'll be in Leesburg all morning doing that, I'm probably going to take a quick jaunt West afterwards if anyone is down.

The weather blows for riding right now so here's a neat picture of the first woman to get a DC motorcycle license:

I didn't like the others, they were all too flat.
My buddy Jen likes riding, but has decided that she hates her bike because it's too heavy. She keeps dropping it at parking speed, and can't pick it up on her own. It's a 2001(?) Ninja 500. Runs great, no serious damage, only real problem is some mismatched paint and lightly scratched plastic. It's definitely a go-er, not a show-er. Carbs were cleaned this summer, new battery, fresh oil, tires, brakes.

What she really wants to do is trade down for an equally-well-running-but-possibly-ugly ninja 250. Straight trade, and she can throw in a little cash for something nicer/newer looking. I'd guess $500 max.

Just throwing it out there in case you guys run across anything. I'd appreciate any leads.

DRZ's for sale you guys. Haven't put it on CL or in the selling thread yet, but I need it gone by the end of the year. Most of you have seen it. Best bike I've owned. 2002 enduro that got an SM conversion, has all the right mods (carb, etc. It was race prepped yo). Comes with all the original crap too, including dirt wheels. Chain, brake pads, fluid, everything's pretty new. Rear tire is getting squared off but it still has plenty of tread.

I paid 3600 for it a couple years ago. I'd like to get that much for it now. Buy it, you'll love it.

Part of me wants to go just to see the scene before the group ride. Based on that starting location it's probably going to be a hipster thing.

We just bought a new car so I need something cheaper for a year or two before jumping on the 701. So your DRZ is still for sale? If the SMC disappears before I sell the Husky and you still have it I might be interested.

Another youthful indiscretion
Do you folks winterize your bikes in DC? I only get to ride about once a week or so, and I'm on the fence about setting it up with fuel stabilizer, etc. I keep the bike outside, under a standard cover. I've got front and rear stands, so I can keep it off the ground when it snows, too. What's the general consensus?

My bike made it trough last winter fine with just stabil in the gas (outside). It's efi, though. I went all out for the ninja and even fogged the cylinders the winter before that, but I'm not sure it was worth the effort.

Covered, tires off the ground, stabilizer, battery inside on a trickle charger has worked for me. It's not perfect; I think one or more of my slow jets is a little clogged. But it's worked for the past few winters.

Don't need to winterize if you don't stop riding. 1 month is about the max I'll trust gas in carbs without stabilizer.

I'm definitely riding Saturday, might join up with the Mohawks for their ride, or else I'll just head West for a few hours on my own.

Haven't decided on Sunday, but I'll probably be down to meet up.
