What did you do to Your Sportster Today?

I started it this morning. After sitting thru 3 nights at or below 0*F, and 2 days around 12*-17*F I thought I'd see how easy it would start.
It fired right up, same as it does when it's warm out. I was surprised how quick the oil temperature came up. Took maybe 10 minutes and oil temp was around 130*F.
Put it back to bed as the roads are covered in salt/brine solution, and temps are headed down, predicting -12*F Monday night...

My sister and brother-in-law live in your area. He would be more ticked off at the weather but he had both hips replaced and cant ride right now anyway.

My Mom and Dad owned the shell station across from the holiday inn where I worked and later the Lindy Freeze in Linden. Bet we know some of the same people. Send me a PM if you would like to discuss further.

I have a 3 day weekend ahead of me and the temperature will range between a high of 15F and a low of 1, with some white stuff here & there.
My plan is to warm up the garage and take the fuel tank off my Sporty. I'm going to replace the low fuel sensor (the idiot light pops on and off at random), and while I'm in there, the fuel filter. This should wrap up my off-season maintenance for this year.
I don't have anyone to help me with this, but Sam Adams will be there afterward.
