Default Am I nuts?

I want to work on my scoot, but there is snow on the ground. My bike is in the garage, and my shop is about 250 yards from the house. Woul;d it be crazy to load the bike up in my trailer and haul it down to the shop? My little road leading down to the shop is covered with snow. I think I need help.

I'd wait for the snow to melt and then ride it to your shop. Shouldn't take long for the snow to melt. We got two feet on Sunday and my driveway is already bare.

Yes you are nuts. No there is no hope. 250 yards on a trailer to satisfy the cravings of a wild man? Not bad as long as no one gets hurt. Oh and there is no cure. Waa haa!!!!

By stating "I think I need help" you answered your own question. You know what they say about talking to yourself...It's fine to talk to yourself as long as you don't answer yourself...just saying...

I think I need help - you might want to read your own post.

I think it's an "idle hands" thing. I wound down the shop for Christmas, and now I want to work on the bike. Those bars have been staring at me every time I walk into the garage.

Me too. This year I put the bikes in my enclosed trailer with battery tenders. My shop is a pole barn that's not heated, but I would heat it up with a torpedo heater when I wanted to work out there. The problem is that I get so much moisture condensing, I have to turn big fans on my tools and bikes to get the moisture to dry off.

This year I figured I wouldn't contend with that on the bikes cuz even though the outside would dry out I was worried about the insides.

Yeah, my business is in my shop down the hill, so it stays very warm in there. I've been checking out the front fender mods going on here,and need to reshoot my saddle bag lids again . It appears that it is melting as we speak. It just looks a little slick on my road.haha
