It was about 40-50 degrees here in NJ. Not too bad, but not sweet to be riding up the parkway with the bursts of winds we had here. I'm glad to say that my man, after crashing in November and going through 3 surgeries, was able to take his bike out yesterday. He injured his wrist very badly and is still going to therapy to try and regain full movement.

So I put this LED kit on my bike in the beginning of February. I've started my bike at points after that and when I went to start it last week, it was a no go. I had to jump the thing and disconnect the kit. I really hate when you try to make something pretty and it doesn't go the way you planned. It's like painting your nails and then getting a scratch on them..>UGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

But all is well now and I've just got to use a different fuse that only works when the damn bike is on.

My heated grips drained my battery to zero a couple of times, they're from a Honda ST1100 and supposed to go completely off when the bike's not on, but o'course there's no existing plug in on my CBR, so we wired it direct to the battery and it must do some miniscule drain..... had to jump it, have been riding errands around town lately which keeps it charged, but really need to repace the battery now, and figure out how to be sure it's shut off when the engine's shut off.

Sucks that it's still cold , it's about 60 to 80 here. Hope it warms up soon so you ladies can get some seat time in.
