WINTER IS THE PITTS!!!

Well for most of the winter we've been able to get out for at least a "battery charging" run but since Thursday last week all it's done is SNOW!!  Now we've got more snow tonight, and then Sat. thru Monday, ARRUGH!! :(  With the old style water battries you could get 2 or 3 weeks and the bike would still start but with these new fangle gel battries, I have no idea if the Sporty is going to start up when the snow finally melts and the roads clear.

It's been pretty dull around here, not being able to at least get in a short ride but you really need to get the scoot up to "highway" speed for a couple of hours to actually do any real battery charging!  That's the one BAD thing about having the bike in a heated storage area, there's no electrical plug so you could run a trickle charger to keep the battery up, BUMMER!! Oh well, we might be putting out $100 for a new battery if Mother Nature doesn't give us a break! Awaiting our income tax refunds so we can get upgraded suspension front and rear and a new seat, sure will be a improvement over the stock stuff!  Hope you get to ride, put in a few extra miles for us!!! :)
