Didn't think it would happen, but I'm getting a February ride in today!! 
Taking the SS to the dealer for all the recalls. Should be able to pick it up next week and ride home. No snow in the forecast for the next 10 days anyway.

Mine is going in on Monday for the recall. Plan to drive it there and back provided there is no rain. Salt should be washed away on Saturday. After that, I'm pulling he exhaust and manifold and sending them out for ceramic coating.

the 'recall' --- was sad I didn't have for last weekend when the weather here in Northern Indiana was dry and 55/60 degrees... My 2016 has 28,000 miles so a couple of extra days this time of year I can handle....should be ready for another
good year of lots of riding....Can't wait for Maggie Valley!!!!!!! -

Well, there is a good reason for the time difference. At your dealership (Libby's), they bus in the automotive Tech. Ed. class from Wilbur Cross High School at around 9:30. Each of the 30 students is handed an adjustable wrench, and a Ball Peen Hammer. Then they will attack your swing arm repair like savages, and have it done quickly because they have to get back to school in time for "Free Lunch Friday".
My dealership, has a Certified Polaris Technician, with a Masters Degree in Mechanical Engineering from M.I.T. He will repair my SS with with a surgical touch, which takes longer.
Good Luck with your repair, I'm sure it will be fine!!

*****FRIGGIN' GRUMPY!!!***** That just goes to validate his wife's bumper sticker. It says, "Some mornings I wake up grumpy - other mornings I let him sleep"

Drove down to the dealer for my recalls this morning. Temp was 45 degrees - a brisk30 minute drive. Four hours later all work was done and I was driving it home and the ride was a comfortable 55 degrees. It felt really nice to be behind the wheel after such a long winter break. Now I need some time to put in the new SLR seats I bought. Then I'm gonna have the exhaust and manifold ceramic coated and get the ECM tune. Then riding season can begin!

Well Jay, maybe we can figure it out through a process of elimination.
So, it wasn't you, cuz it was fast (35+ mph) , and it wasn't Tony, he went back to sleep!!! -

I think we should change the name of the thread from CT fellas post up here to the CT ball busting page! LOL
It looks like we all graduated from the same School" BBU" Ball breaking University!
Its nice to see a group of riders who aren't a bunch of snowflakes and that can give and well take, And have a little lite hearted fun.
I can't wait till this riding season starts so we can get together for a ride and a beer hopefully it will be soon my brothers.
