Hey Rick
I don't know about the tire pressure idea, doesn't the manual say to lower the pressure and get the tires off the ground (I don't have it in front of me so my memory may be hazy).
But, you have to remember the guys that ride all year don't have the exquisite pleasure of the anticipation waiting for the weather to break so they can hit the road. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
