Lok at the bright side, It's a great excuse to tell the wife you need that custom paint job. If you're gonna do the fender or the tank, you might as well do'em all. Best way to make the color match.

Like I said earlier in the post, the heater has a built in thermostat and wasn't running at the time I moved the bike, but when it kicked in....

Dude,
you weren't a dummy. You were just creating a reason to get a new flame paint job. No pun intended.
