No problems here but things could be worse. The scanner was full yesterday with trees down creating brush fires. We had one just 1/2 from here. At 4:00 am there is still 7000 people with no electricity. Many with no source of backup heat. Now the scanner is full of personal injury accidents. People just trying to stay warm at 4:00am.People are to dependent on electricity and many do not have a plan for a outage. Darn cold night to go without.

No no, I ain't giving one away. Lets venture down to Houma LA and soak up the warm for a couple of days. Thinking about leaving within the next 7 days, heading south through Montgomery and on down through Mobile, then on to Houma. Cold beer and mud bugs await, lots of warm temps and even Cycle world is there. Who interested?

Well it was a sunny day yesterday with freezing rain in the forecast for today. So at 34 degrees I suited up and took a 150 mile ride with a quick stop at my Mom's to clean some gutters. Felt really good to be out and about. The only thing that was cold was my hands. I just can see to find gloves that will keep my hands warm. I currently use leather, insulated, with a long cuff. Yesterday I even put those handwarmers down in my gloves which helped a little. Anyone have a suggestion for keeping my hands warmer? I suppose it doesn't help that they have been frostbit before. Thanks for any suggestions. J

When my 89 is cold the starter cranks just fine. After it is warm the starter turns over very slow, pauses, and then the engine fires and starts. It has been this way ever since I got the bike 7 years ago. I lost the stator on a road trip last year (thanks freebird for the replacement procedure, worked great) so now things like this are getting more of my attention. I would like to pull the starter to test it, can it be done without removing the radiator? Any ideas on why it starts the way it does when it is warm? The battery was new last year and the stator is working fine now. Thanks in advance for any and all help.

What if a good way to waterproof leather boots, coats, gloves, etc.? I got my feet soaked a few weeks ago so I cleaned, repolished, then used some waterproofing product in a spraycan. I can't remember what brand right now. On my trip down to Diamond, MO. on Tuesday and Wednesday. I got stuck in the rain, sleet, and snow. My feet still got soaked. I have new gloves that kept my hands pretty dry and warm. My coat kept me warm and dry all the way. I found some stuff from KIWI called WET PRUF. I put it on my gloves and boots and will find out how it works on my way back to Cadott, WI. Well hopefully I won't have to find out if it works. I didn't think about Mink Oil till after the fact. How about Saddle Soap? I assume that's used to clean leather. Doe it waterproof at all? THNX, BILL

Has anyone used Rain-X anti-fog? I have a Clearview shield and I can deal with the rain but when I hit those pockets of warm air in the morning and the whole thing fogs up I just can't see through it.

With my trust levil down for my venture on cold wheather starting, I will be driving the Silverwing to work. BUT - unlike my warm Venture, that is one cold machine, especially with thin scrub pants on. I am thinking I need a pair of warm overalls or a pair of warm pants that will go over my thin uniform pants. I need something I can get into quickly and easily. Any suggestions? Tom E
