Little  cold here in the Northeast today. 9*! Wind chill is killer.
Nothing to do but make plans for maintenance on the scooter and rides this
spring.

Well, 9F here as well, bike started hard but good after a long warm up. Brutal wind chill, electrics are a big help.
Allegheny could be put on that list, eh?

Somewhere in the FSM they caution about potential ice in the oil tank/lines when temps are below freezing.

Moisture only collects in engines that sit. This being Paul’s main mode of transportation, I am sure most of it is burned off every day.  |

Paul is a great inspiration to me. I'm 65 and can only hope to be as active in ten years
T shirt today, but I could use a jacket. Still have the 60 wt straight in the bag-I make sure to ride long enough to heat it thoroughly

Steve, we have C.O.B.B.II run coming up February or March, running down the Natchez Trace Parkway. At its bottom in Mississippi it’s not been determined if we’ll run West out to San Diego or East maybe for some Florida visiting then back up the East Coast? I have family and friends in Florida so we may share some road?

That would be fine Paul
I am pretty far down here, it's a long state. You are welcome to spend a night here if that would work out. Would be good to see you, BE FOREWARNED: two very spoiled English Bulldogs run the house....
I never know what I am doing work-wise at the shop so planning things is.....
Where are your friends in FL?

It was 7* in this part of the state and as you know, it gets colder,
My bikes are in their winter spot. If we get an unusually warm day with no snow on the ground, I might take the Sportster out for a blast. The RK stays put. |
