Too cold out there. Did that last year when I had the bike in the lower walkout basement. Found it was too difficult to get out and up the hill when a nice day came, so it sits in the garage poised for a nice day.

Got to admit, though, no mods get done that way. May have to forgo 3 or 4 shitty cold rides in January so I can put it back down there and gets to the every growing mod list.

I have a beer refrigerator, flat screen tv and a comfy work bench stool in my heated garage. My bikes are never lonely.

I'm not able to that as my local dealer ran out of Screamin' Eagle beer, HD refrigerators, and the new anniversary edition SE TV's. After all, I don't want to void any warranty.

Actually I can't because she's not stored at my house.

+1. That 51* breeze cuts through you like a knife!

Although my garage is heated by Mother Nature, I'm so tempted to give a dissertation about how nice riding in Texas winters are, but paybacks are a bitch.

Come summertime, when you folks up north are riding in 80* weather, I'm cruising through a hair dryer in 100+* temps. Makes you look forward to winter that much more.

This weekend.....partly sunny and 65*. You know what Daddy likes!

Agree. Hopefully they're sympathetic. I almost had to wear the leather jacket the other day. C'mon.
