Quick solution, sit a large fan in front of it, start her up, turn the radio up just a little.

By the way, make sure no one else is around and don't forget to open the garage door just a bit.

HAVE FUN!!!!

We're all fightin' the cold. Nice bike, and you'll be ridin' regular in a couple of months. I'm into Cabin Fever myself about now, so I know what not being able to ride is all about. You just have to make up for it when the sun starts to shine again.

I cant get over how much more enjoyable the ride is vs. my Softail...I have several herniated discs, as well as a fusion, so I didn't do well on extended trips...I'm still fiddling with air pressures to find the "sweet spot"(from what I read, less air doesnt always mean softer), but I was out for a good three hours today, and aside from some snotcicles, I felt fine...
