It's getting warmer there and still cold/rainy here!

Last night I woke up shivering, pulled an extra comforter out of the closet, to have TWO comforters to keep me warm.

My batt has been on a Tender all winter. I expect it to fire right up when I put it back in the bike.

You mean the famous pause when you hit the starter? Or it just wouldn't turn over?

The CBR has been sitting since december but it started up no problem.
Since its supposed to rain this weekend maybe I start the ZX-11 up and maybe start getting her ready for sale.

It's usually easier in 2nd gear.
