Working on digging the bike out.

Well, I'm working on digging the bike out of the garage this weekend. My driveway accumulates a lot of snow and ice in the winter, and doesn't melt quickly. It is an east-west oriented driveway, with fairly tall houses on both sides of it, that shade it a lot, have roofs that dump snow & ice into it, and that interfere with wind patterns enough that more snow drops into it as well. My garage is at the back of my lot -- so it's a fairly long narrow driveway. So, I don't clear it in the winter -- just keeping enough at the bottom clear to park my car, and usually, space for one guest car. So, now that we've had some warm weather, and are having a warm weekend, I'm working on getting enough shovelling/chipping to get the bike out. Also, the battery is low, so I think I'm going to have to go out and pick up a trickle charger, charge it over night, then start it tomorrow. So, hopefully, tomorrow will be my first ride of the year. Hopefully.

This isn't my bike, but my bike looks just like this bike. Well, except that mine doesn't look quite so sparkling clean, and I've got a Givi case on the back. But, the colour and model and stuff are right.

Steps to Vrooom

Charger purchased, and hooked up to battery. Tomorrow, hopefully, vrooom!
