37 degrees and sun out here in Michigan, so I thought since it has been three weeks since the cover was off, I'd give it a short run to warm up. Battery tender kept full charge and Spyder jumped to life. A bit longer for one bar to show up, but that gave me time to don the insulated bib overalls and insulated jacket and gloves. Off for a short ride to warm up engine and move oil. Remarkably comfortable, but happy I was not headed off for a 50 mile run. Six miles and ten minutes and back in the garage cooling down. Back under the cover and on the battery tender tonight. Hope to get at least one of these short jaunts in each month for the benefit of man and machine.

I know the feeling - gotta get the blood circulating at least once a month no matter how cold. Since it can't slip and flip like a 2 wheeler, I now have less excuses to not venture out.
