Default Winter season

I usually keep my ride out in the open, under some protective covers. waited too longto put the bike in garage for winter (have to ride it to the other end of the city to my mother's place) and unevitable happened. forthe last 2 weeks we had snow andtemperatures ranging from 15 to 5 degF- Last weekend the weather got better, which means it got just above freezing point, so I thoughtI have my chance right there. So I went to the parking lot and expected that I'll have to push the damn thing to get it moving but it started up with no problems at all onthefirst try-after like a month of being parked and subjected to elements (I'd like to see a harley pull this off ....but, oh well, I digress).
So I went off, occassionally skidded on some black ice but surprisingly the ride wasn't that bad. the only problem I had were my hands - couple years back I got some frostbite in the mountains and since then my fingers hurt like hell when I expose them to cold. What is important though, I got my bike to the warm anddrygarage safely.

Mine did.

Glad that you got the gal in a warmer environment.

edit: Although I got smart and kept all of the rides in the kitchen. I could spot an oil drip and clean it up better..... lol
