Right there with you dude. Roads are sheets of ice and the bikes won't be out for quite a while.
Switching the Battery Tender back and forth has been the big thing for my HD addiction lately.
Been looking at a KLR on CL for a month or so, but wound not be willing to jump on it either right now.

Good Luck with that....

Just now started snowing here in NE Misery.

I still got some nasty AT tires from my canada trip...... I'm gonna see if they've got some grip in this snow. Bikes damn near destroyed anyhow, might as well finish the job!

Wow, a snow day? Haven't had one of those since High School. Guess that's what I get for being a phone guy. Not much going on here yet on the southwest side of K.C. but it's coming. Have fun breaking your neck.
