Sad day yesterday

Try some handlebar muffs. Keeps all the wind off your hands. With heated grips makes tiny heated caves for your hands. In the coldest weather you can wear summer gloves. I also run a heated jacket liner plugged into my battery tender jr pigtail.

I have (or had) a set of those in the 70's from a brand called "hippo hands". never did figure out the brand reference, but they were heaven in winter in Kansas!
 
Well sad for me anyway. It was cold and rainy yesterday here in Illinois so I said I'll make myself useful and hibernate my bike. Rode it in the rain to fill her tank up with Shell gasoline and red stabil gas treatment. Got it back into the garage and tried 5 times to get it on the center stand before i was successful.... I was 45 Y.O when i bought the bike when I could get it up easily ( the bike im talking about here) damn i hate old age. Filled it up with my $58.00 dollar oil change kit of 4 QTs of Honda 10w 40 and a oem Honda filter. After checking my oil installation I took the battery out and wheeled it into the coroner of the garage. So now im left with driving my old Corolla down to my monthly RTE or is it DTE when I see my motorcycle friends that I visit a 100 miles away. These guys are tuff old birds as some ride all year long. So now begins the count down come on March.
It's March!
 
I finally put my bike up on the center stand because I need to check the oil. I haven't ever checked it since it was professionally changed back at the end of December. Because the bike has to be level to check the oil and I've had a couple of failures trying to get the bike up on the center stand.

Today I did it due mostly to the fact that I rolled both of the tires onto two flat 1/2" thick boards on my garage floor, but leaving a space in the middle for the center stand to come down to the bare concrete.

We’ve tried and tried to get you to cut loose and buy some heated gear…..then, you could ride all year and come down to motorcycle RIDER lunch more often.
