Couplea Questions...

Would like to borrow some advice from the Pool of Knowledge here...

How often do you add stabilizer to your gas? I got some today, the cycle store dude told me every other tankful or so. Is this about right?

Any tricks for keeping your bike clean? I live up a half mile of dirt road. Only way I can think to keep it clean is to not ride it- which isn't really in the plan. But should I be lubing the chain more often or anything?

And, as this is my first bike, I'm wondering what other bikes *feel* like. Does a bigger, heavier bike get pushed around in the wind less? I went over a few cleared hills near Lake Champlain and felt like I was in a hurricane! Is cornering harder? Or is it just one of those things that you have to adjust to? (I'm still "adjusting" to Ol' Bessie, my Geezer!)

Thanks for the info, advice, etc-
