My bike has only been out to make sure the replacement header doesn't leak. I was lucky to get it far enough out of the garage to run it. Still two feet of snow on the ground around here.

I've never had a problem with the battery either... Original battery still in it, and it's never seen a charger. Still starts first try after sitting for months.

It's getting warmer there and still cold/rainy here!

Last night I woke up shivering, pulled an extra comforter out of the closet, to have TWO comforters to keep me warm.

Yup, we were in 2nd. He just couldn't pull up the revs quick enough on the first push, so it puttered and died. But the second push it fired right up.

My batt has been on a Tender all winter. I expect it to fire right up when I put it back in the bike.

You mean the famous pause when you hit the starter? Or it just wouldn't turn over?

I had to push start my buddy's zx-6r the other day. We went to jump it and his ancient battery charger caught on fire, so the battery was still dead. So we just got it in the street, got it to putter on the first push, and fired right up on the second push.
