I'm dreaming of the first day I can take the Ultra to work and then hop on the RKC in the evening for a night out.

I hate winter, except for December 25th, the day I get new harley parts.

I couldn't take it anymore, I started the Ultra the other day, just to hear her rumble....

Default It won't last forever

Do not winiterize it. Park it, plug the battery tinder in, first clear day, drive it. It will last just as long either way. Cold does not hurt gas stored in a closed container, heat does.
