Everyone in the snowbelt does this. It's just self preservation......although why anyone would do that in a warm place like SC/NC is beyond me.....20) You carry jumper cables in your car - for your own car.
25) You know all four seasons: Almost summer, summer, still summer, and Christmas.

cables
Funny you mentioned jump cables! At this Gap meeting, my PC800 Battery some how (long story) got run down and this thing doesnt like weak battery. We wanted to do more riding on Thurs. I tried to find a charger bigger than the 1.5 amp trickle but none around when Jeff suggested using jumper cables hooked to a car battery to fast charge my bikes Batt. Jeff's cables where WELL used and to big to snake onto my batt. My brother said he had some motorcycle jump cables in his BMW??? WTF hmmm well worth a look, the jump cables had small clips and where PERFECT to get to my battery. we clipped it to Jeffs truck battery.
In an hour my Battery was up to full charge and the Red Tupperware bike was off to explore more of the local roads. Basically his jump cables were small charger type clips on 8 guage wire. I gots to make some of these, espcially for this POS.
by the way I got home and for those of you that heard me Winening about not having the RD or GT at the Gap, I have been riding my GT500, i should have ridin it in stead of the PC. ARRrrrgggg. Dofin
Oh yea, and "howsyermomnthem" is "How is your mother and family?"
