IF THEY FROZE ITS BECAUSE THEY SOMEHOW DISCHARGED YOU CAN ACTUALLY FULLY CHARGE A BATTERY AND STORE IT IN YOUR FREEZER. AS LONG AS A BATTERY IS NOT HOOKED UP TO ANYTHING IT TAKES LONGER TO DISCHARGE AT LOWER TEMP.I ONCE HAD A CHART WHICH SHOWED THE DISCHARGE RATE OF BATTERY AT VARIOUS TEMP AND IF I FIND IT I WILL POST IT. IT HAS ALSO BEEN PROVEN THAT A BATTERY DOES NOT DRAIN ANY FASTER WHEN SITTING ON CONCRETE.

Most truck stops are excellant sources for cb antennas at reasonable prices. make sure to check your swr if you purchase one with an adjustable tip above the loading coil.

I did not have an inside spot to store my bike so, I put a plastic sheet down on th driveway, placed a 3/4" sheet of exterior plywood on top upon which I parked the bike, after filling the tank, adding the right amount of stabl, and giving it a short run I then connected a 2 amp charger to the battery, which in turn I hooked to a timer set to come on every day for 1/2 an hour. (i did not remove the battery from the bike a fully charged battery will not freeze). Finaly I ran a one inch load strap from the rear luggage rack over the center of the windshield prior to covering the bike, this keeps the snow from piling up on the bike cover. Come spring the bike fires right up.
