Default Harley Withdrawl

If you park it for winter, times can get tough. This morning I was going to work and stopped in the garage to say good morning to my Harley. I then got in my truck, looked over at the bike again, and backed up.......right in to the closed garage door. Its going to be a long winter

Another member on here described it best, as suffering from PMS, parked motorcycle syndrome.

I avoid that by not parking the truck in the garage with the bike.

I did something similar the other morning while I was walking out of the garage staring at the bike I tripped over the trash can and spilled it all down the driveway. Of course I jumped up to make sure no one saw me and there was my wife shaking her head at me. I need to ride and clear my head.

I gotta look at it every time I go downstairs to throw some wood in the woodstove. Some cold, snowy Saturday nights, I'll crack a couple beers and sit my *** in a chair near it, after I get done cleaning it,turn on the radio and think about warm weather...I really love that bike!
