Reply #15 - 11/24/13 at 11:09:00 sounds cold - over here in Wales it was 6 above freezing this afternoon, and has been below zero centigrade at night. Not really very cold but the media always kicks up a big fuss about any weather. I was out on my Vulcan 1600 yesterday , lovely and sunny about 4C . No snow yet.

Southern Ontario, east of Toronto, approx 12F & sunny. I have my Savage tucked away in a portable shed 9'x10'x6.5'high. Will take battery out soon and charge it up in my garage/studio. If we get any days up around 40F to 50F I will plug the battery back in and go for a short skoot to Tim Horton's for a hot coffee, even in Dec, Jan or Feb

Have the gas tank full and fuel stabilizer mixed in so should be good to go.
Have a Vapor Digital Dash coming from Mrs. Santa which I will install over the winter - giving me a tach and trip meter capability. A few other mods planned for over the winter months.
Fun, fun, fun

Lancer....it is Sunday! Your church must start awful early if you have to get up at 4 AM to get ready!

It is 6:15 AM and the temperature is now 17 degrees. I might just have to start thinking about what winter projects I have to do.

The Cafe' bike will get paint, a front fender, a working handlebar mounted compression release, and maybe a 1.5 inch header pipe....it it is a long winter! Shocked

It does not matter what day it is, I almost always wake early; between 4-5 am typically but can be earlier.

It gives me plenty of time to get ready for church, and this, and that, and other stuff too, if I don't wake with a migraine...which is not unusual. Yeah, no fun, but it is part of my life.

Yes, you need the better header; you will like the way it runs.

Good Morning all!

Been hovering around mid 40's for the past week, and that and colder for the next week at least. That don't seem too bad, but theres been just about nothing but drizzle the entire time. Not good rding weather IMHO.

I also am quite startled by my appetite. Normally, I do not really change my food habits. BUt this year I just cant seem to get enough "harvest" foods. Pumpkin pies ( I ate an entire one alone), apple cider, gumbo, bean soup.. any thing hot and belly filling! Its like I expect to hibernate and need to get my fat on! wierd!!!!

Well it seems were now in the midst of a heat wave.. lol...
It actually has not froze over in 3 nights here.
It is so nice not to have to de ice the windshield before I
can leave work in the a.m.
Past couple days, it has even gotten to be 50 or a little higher.

Usually November is one of our wettest and nastiest months.
Not this one and forever nice day is one less nasty one I say..

Haven't ridden Genie yet hope to possibly today.
If not she is snuggled in the carport and resting comfortably for now.

Yeah, seems I spoke too soon. It was below freezing when I
left for the gym earlier.
Had to de-ice the windshield and was off..
Now weather forecast is possibly chance of light rain this evening
and then the cold comes back with a vengeance.
Sat and Sun high predicted to be in 40's.
Then Mon, Tues and next week as of now, highs predicted
to be 38 at tops...
OMG.. Back into my long johns..

Speaking of de-icing windshields. A buddy of mine was tell ing a co-worker had called in saying he couldn't come in because his windshield was iced up. My buddy told him to pour some water over the windshield.

Five minutes later the guy called back and said he no longer had a windshield because it had shattered. The fool had tried to pour boiling water over the windshield to de-ice it and as you know, such extreme change of temp will shatter glass.

Someone never passed their high school science class.
