Spoiling the Spyder

[Mo Lee]

I sure hope it appreciates all I do for it, and keeps running perfect.

If you turned the camera 180 degrees, would we see a sleeping space for you?

Nice to spoil the Spyder, but the heater scares me silly. It would not meet code here. Open flames or an ignition source within four feet of a garage floor are dangerous. Gasoline fumes are heavier than air, and hug the floor. Had a friend badly injured in an explosion that way once. Please be careful!

Now that's funny :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:, but at the same time scary, be careful so the heat doesn't melt your spyder :yikes:

What is the heater needed for anyway? Some need other hobbies...how about a battery tender plus? Nothing more is needed...

Actually it is more of a workshop, the bikes just get to take up the floor space when its not needed for other projects. No I have not had move the bed there yet. Here in the Ozarks most of the small garages both personal and professional have heat at the floor level and more than not are wood heat. I have had a wood stove in the garage for about 10 years and consider the pellet stove an upgrade. I am careful and don't mess with fuel inside when a fire is burning I also only have a fire when I'm working in the garage. Now that you mention it I think I will put a pipe on the burner intake so the combustion air come from the outside. Never needed a battery tender because none of my bikes sit long enough even in the winter. Now that this is said I must go knock on wood.

Our poor babies are in a storage unit with no heat. Tho we did have em out yesterday.

No battery tenders here, just ride em once in awhile.:2thumbsbetween floods)

I keep mine in the garage and my wife hates it (supposed to be her spot!)...anyway, the battery tender plus is a MUST HAVE if you store your bike at all...most storage facilities have an outlet or two....use it...

I think I paid like 40.00 on Amazon for the Tender...

Spyder & Harley are in the garage - no battery tender yet but once it gets colder we use them. Maybe next summer we can make room for the Charger to go in the garage. I don't mind it outside since it I can start it from the inside and it's nice and warm once I get in it but during the pollen months, I'd love garage space - my black Charger looks like a booger in the spring time - all yellow and green

Considering the Spyder uses a magneto to charge things - a battery tender is a good thing to use all the time when you park it to keep the batter at full charge.

Oh, so now you want to put the fire service guys out of business? We need customers too!

I just wish they'd do it between 8am - 5pm (Just kidding, of course - you might have to be a firefighter to understand the humor!)

We are having a motorcycle garage built, there will be heat :2thumbs:, but not a wood stove :yikes:

If I was going to build a new shop I would do what my buddy did. He had pipe put into the slab that he runs a small hot water heater on. The hot water heats the slab and the heat rises, I couldn't believe how well that worked and it made it cheap to heat. :doorag:

 

[SpyderWolf]

I figured it was your shop, but am sure you will not hear the Spyder complain at all.

The heated flooring sounds like a great idea as well.

I've always wondered if that would work I guess you would have to include a circulation pump as well.

Lamonster has one... Its used for the floating tennis court...:roflblack::roflblack:
