Well I geuss I'm a little further north than the people who are riding already.. was - 18*C this morning and I'm sure my battery being exposed to -35*C this winter may have added to my battery troubles.. I'll get a new battery before I can hit the road this year I think.

I have my bike parked on the patio and we still have about a foot of snow. Tried boosting it with a little boost kit but it was still -13*C so I pushed it the 25 meters out to the parkinglot where I could hook up cables from my car. [what a sceene that was, me pushing the 650 lb bike through snow] It must have looked hard or somthing cause on of my neighbors came out and helped me push

took a little bit but she started. I know a little bit about bike mechanics. but I have tubes that come up on eather side of my air box on my '99 Vmax. I can only assume it has somthing to do with the vboost. eather way when I started her up one of the tubes started pumping gas. was dumping it while I was trying to get her started but once she was running it was steadily pumping gas out all over my bike.. haha so I carfuly took the booster cables off and pulled the tube out of it's clamp and clamped it shut. bike struggled a little more and it was somehow dumping onto my exaust from somwhere els.. I'm sure somthing was just froze and this wont be an issue when it warms up.. ^_^

was a little easier to get her back to my patio again now that she was running. still a huge struggle. all n all my only real goal today was to run my bike for a bit regardless what I would need to do.. mission accomplished..
