Hosedragger Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 I love living in the murder mitten but it has forced me to buy the worst accessory.....a Battery Tender Jr. nothing against the brand or anything just means my riding season is over due to weather and cold.

I feel your pain. Living in the mitten is brutal for 6 months. Hooked mine up to the dreadful Tender Jr this week as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stay strong and you will be riding in no time! Since it’s supposed to be a balmy 40 tomorrow I may go for a quick ride and see how the new and improved forks feel. Can’t pass up such a beautiful day. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1tondriver Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Went for a very short ride yesterday because it was freezing! Tires were so slick I couldn’t push the new forks at all. It is now officially over till spring as it is supposed to pile up 6-8”’s of this crap today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Littlebriar Posted November 11, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted November 11, 2019 Another Mitten guy (in the Thumb) lamenting the rapidly approaching winter storm. It's no fun riding in the snow. This summer I bought a toy hauler and will be taking both my BMW and FZ-07 on some camping trips down South and out West. I'm retired so I can go for extended trips. Looking forward to seeing how much I like living in a camper for extended periods. No need to winterize my bikes this year. 6 Steve, 2017 Yamaha FZ-07, 2016 BMW 1200RT, 2019 Ducati Monster 1200s - Harbor Beach, Michigan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
