O.K. sobering up now, he's not a goof, but come on, lets all learn about our bikes. Like Skip says "so many bikes, so few bikers"

If you have a bike, you should know every bolt on it! Buy a manual, ask questions, do a few repairs.

Batteries actually lose their charge faster the warmer they get. So you still need to charge them once a month even if they're inside. The problem in cold weather happens when you try to start a cold engine full of cold oil. That sucks out the charge fast.

Joe

You know I've been riding for 42 years and have done alot of my own work. Well I was helping a friend this past summer and was going to take the seat off his heritage. Couldn't get the damn thing off. What I was going to say before Dumb and Dumber finally got his seat off wast that the two bottom screws (one on each side midway on the seat) do not come all the way out. They are like spring loaded or something. Once everything is loose lean over the bike and pull out on the screws at the same time and lift the seat off. Danmest thing I ever say
