    Great to hear the bike started right up, I don't see how you guys can take that cold weather, but I guess thats because I'am a coonass from Louisiana, we might get a a couple months cold weather at the most and usually still have some nice riding days during those.

    weather's relative. It does suck not being able to ride year round but there is something that us folks up north..or in the cold weather areas get to experience that folks that ride year round don't..and that is the first ride of the season..pretty much a religious happening..nothing like it.

    Well I may be able to the harley out sooner than I thought. I just tightened up the air valve in my front tire and so far it is holding air. I am going to check on it before I hit the hay and see how it is then. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

    Just pull the wheel and tire off and take it into where you will get it fixed, costs less.
