| Gloves "When it rains my gloves get wet and black comes off onto my hands." Solution 1: Wash your gloves in dish washing soap and let them soak. Rinse them well and let them air dry. This will remove the dye from the gloves without hurting the integrity of the gloves. Solution 2: Carry a few pairs of surgical gloves in your trunk. Wearing them under your leather gloves will keep the black off and keep your hands dry in the rain. Note: Olympia makes a waterproof glove called "Monsoon." Shell: Deluxe washable/waterproof, leather. Insulation: Waterproof, Breathable, Windproof Aquatex insert. Lightweight, smooth cool tricot lining. No black on hands! Usually found at Rallies for $39.95 Also deer skin gloves will not produce black on your hands. |
| Winter Tire Care When storing your Wing for the winter positioned on the center stand, often the front wheel will touch. In an unheated garage place a thin board under the tire to keep it off the cold concrete. In both a heated and unheated garage it is a good idea to give the front and rear tires a quarter turn once a month. |
| Putting on your rain gear This is a tip we learned from Mike and Kathy. When putting on your rain gear, place a plastic grocery bag over your boots to help your rain pants slide on easier and more quickly. It will also prevent water and mud from getting on the inside of the rain pants. |
