Default Freakinout's Guide to Winter Bike Care - Christmas Eve Special

This question comes up so often I thought I should make a nice guide to show everyone how to take care of your bike during the winter months.

Christmas Eve Picture

(Right click and Save-As)

Step one:

Pull bike out of the garage and Start her up

Step two:

Finally take some half decent videos so you can show off the V-twin exhaust.

Also try to make a video/sound clip from the cockpit

Step three:

Ride your bike, and remember its cold enough outside that your tires will never get warm enough not to break traction.

** Disclaimer: This is not your daddy's Harley **

Step four:

Fill bike with fuel and bring home to show one last video of bike :biggrin:

I hope this helps everybody, it really helped some of my cabin fever the last ten days or so.
