I'm a Minnesotan checking in.

(I don't know exactly where DianeS lives in Canada, but there's a good chance that I actually live farther north than she does.) Wink

Anyway, I've had my Thumper for two winters now. My last ride in '05 was on November 15, and my last ride in '06 was on November 24. I winterized my bike both times.

I believe in winterizing my Thumper, but with the mild winter we've been having so far, I could have ridden Thumper for a full month after I winterized her. Sad

Next year, I'm not going to winterize at the first cold stretch. My goal will be to ride into December.

Cheers. Tammi

Now if i can only find the 07 sticker I was supposed to put on the license plate.

Tammi: I live about an hour northeast of Toronto, but I've been in Windsor which is a place where part of the US is actually north (lol). Grin

Geo: Riding naked - me??? Ha! That'll be the day. Grin

Trippah: I had to find my license sticker too - but that was in November. I knew I should have put it on immediately after I got it from the licensing bureau!

Anyway, I would have ridden my bike over two hours today (to an appt.) but it wouldn't start. Turns out the battery had a cracked cell cover - not bad for likely being the original OEM battery from 2000. So... instead of riding, I ended up buying a replacement battery.
Tomorrow, once the new battery is charged and installed, I'll go for a testrun. The temp. is supposed to be + 8 celcuis (@ 46 F). Works for me. Grin

Green 2000 Savage purchased in Nov. 2005. Memphis fat windshield, Willie and Max Saddlebags, jardine slash cut muffler, engine case guard, Metzler 880 ME tires, fork brace, and carb re-jetted.
