I've been riding in the 30's-40's for the past 2 months b4 putting her away for the 10's-20's and ice hit. there's a guy I see everyday on the way to work riding his bike with a side car through the snow. Jealous of u guys down south, but there's nothing like the spring and fall rides through the country side up here.

Snow on the ground and was -5 yesterday morning. The ride isn't going anywhere for a while. I do bundle up and go visit her out in the garage though.

Sounds nice. My next project is heating my garage.

Keep her in the walkout basement, she's had a drink of fuel stabilizer, a warm sheet to cover her up and a battery tender to keep her juiced up. I go down and visit with a shot of Kentucky Bourbon on occasion.

Mines in the barn 'cause I'm rebuilding my truck camper in the shop.
The campers almost done but I keep slipping out to the barn to sit on my bike and make VROOM noises like a 4yr old

lol

this is funny and I thought I was crazy for having the urge to go and look at her and walk around her and stare at the curves and wonder can I risk taking her out for a quick ride. (snow and -5C)

I really want to go and turn her on and listen to her and smell her... but I heard its bad to run it during storage as condensation builds up
