Winter is coming: do not forget that coffee maker!

Today is a beautiful day in NYC: sunny and warm! But it’s November, and I have been living long enough in this city to know that the temperatures can change dramatically at a snap of a finger. You leave the house in the morning with a light jacket and you have to jog back to it because it has suddenly got too cold.
From a road racer point of view the issue is critical because you do not realize that winter is coming until is too late ….Why? Because you have forgotten to drain the “plain” water from your race bike engine and when you realize it, it’s already cracked.
Even better than just removing the water is to change it with any kind of antifreeze engine fluid. The Pure Motorbike Passion crew has been using for years Engine Ice hi-performance antifreeze & coolant during the cold season and at club events where they do not call specifically for plain water or plain water + Water Wet fluid.
We like Engine Ice because protects our radiators from freezing and, at the same time, makes the cleaning job in spring very easy with not “perpetual” residual coolants in the system.
As matter of the fact, on their page the company is recommending a cleaning procedure that until this morning I had been using only for my Italian Espresso Moka machine: a 50/50 mix of water and vinegar for a sparkling cooling system!
