I have been riding here in Mich since the first week of March when we had that 70° heat wave. Then had to put her back away for a few weeks when it dipped back down to the low 30's and 20's. Then bout a week ago got her back out and rode to work only to have to head home in the rain at around 40°.
As of Friday there have been winds nearing the 40mph zone and I hate riding when I have to have a 20°lean while goin straight to compensate for the wind. Leanin is for turns.

Well tried to take her out for a shakedown ride and it wouldnt start. had it off the charger since I did the oil change last week, it started right up then, kinda odd it would die this fast. Welll its on the tender now and I am battery shopping

Any recomendations on where to buy from would be greatley appreciated
