Good battery/first ride of the season
05/13/14 at 19:10:36

Yesterday, I took the smart charger off Ole Yellar One and carefully pack away the tool kit and locked in the chrome side cover. I reached across the saddle turned on the key and she started right up.
I then reached across again and turned her off but accidentally switched into the emergency stop position.
With plenty of light I did not notice that the tail and, isc lights were on.
10 hours later Angry

I was back in the shop and discovered them cheerfully lighting up the garage.
Tonight again I punched the start and to my surprise she immediately fired and ran.
Needless to say we ran twenty kms down the road immediately.
It was my first ride of the season And was a total joy!

I saw the remnants of snow pack still in the bush yesterday All this means is riding season is slow getting started. There is a 500 km group ride on Sunday so might get some rolling in.

I have friends in Regina and they told me all about this winter, I thought we had it bad in NY. That guy is an engineer and go see customers way north, drives a full size Hummer and he goes as far as the road takes him and sometimes has to continue with a plane. He's gone weeks at a time and got stuck in a bad storm inside his Hummer, after a few hours he called his wife cause he didnt think he was gonna make it.

Well here in Kentucky.....last weekend it was almost too hot to put riding gear on. My wife and I went for a ride and while suiting up we just couldn't seem to get it on fast enough and get on the bike to get some airflow.

This weekend we are down in the low 40's!

This was "National Ride your Bicycle to Work Day".....but for me it was "Drive my Car to Work with the Heater on Day".

If I was that guy Id carry a generator, food, water & anything else I could jam into that hummer. Put lights on the roof, get a radio that seriously gets out, The generator could mount outside,, heck, maybe under the hood, I dunno,, but yes, people DIE, trapped in a car in bad weather.. If he has the $$$ for a Hummer, he has the $$$ to make it into a survival wagon. I hope he takes it seriously now that he has had such a wake up call,
