Default Wtf?

High of -10F for Tuesday w/o the wind chill?? When does that groundhog come out?.....it would sure be nice to get some good news. January is breaking a record for the coldest one in Ohio history....snowfall already made top 5 of all time too. I just try to keep think'n how sweet it'll be when I pull my baby out for the first time in the Spring. This is my first experience storing an "evo" through the winter.....sure hope she fires up when that time comes??

Do you have a trickle charger on it? I started using one when batteries got so expensive. The chopper has one of those lithium batteries in it that won't discharge, so we'll see. No heated garage, so I can't do any of the little projects I have plans for on either bike. Yes, Ohio winter sucks.

Yes. I'm looking at the weather next week also, shop foreman for a International dealership in Cincy. We have 200 parking spots and no parking spots open, even the trucks we repair in the warm shop won't start in the parking lot with this weather, the only thing that keeps me warm is blood pressure rising from all 200 truck owners that call and say they are priority over the other 199.

I'm on a roller coaster ride here in Denver. Below freezing, maybe some snow then a day or 2 near 50 or above, not enough time to melt the snow. So I see the 50s approaching, get my hopes up, only to have them dashed on the rocks of destiny when I see that the ice hasn't melted off my side street enough for me to get out. SIGH.
