if it did, the temp would have to be in freezing for several hours. the temp of your water wont reach that temp long enough to freeze.
same problems were asked last season's opener.
I forgot about the lights. Thanks for the reassurance. I know it would be a long shot, just one of those thing to worry about. Funny thing, I didn't think of it last year and the bike was fine. I do remember watching the temp as I loaded the bike up Friday morning, never thought about it again though.

I don't think it would matter. On the other hand what if it did? That would be BAD.
Thoughts?

It takes a lot longer than a single night in the low 30's for a bike to freeze up enough to cause damage no matter if it's inside or outside.
Re: Count Down Untill 2012 Season!
For anyone in the infield concerned about it. Grab a heavy moving blanket and lay it over the bike and put one of the small flouresent (sp?) drop lights under the blanket on the ground. What little heat the drop light makes will be more than enough to keep the bike warmer than freezing.
Don't try that with an exposed incandesant (sp?) bulb drop light as if the blanket touches the bulb it could keep your bike very warm. At least for a short period of time.
Re: Count Down Untill 2012 Season!
Piss on it right before you go to bed ...
I've lived here in loudon 20 yrs and never had a freeze problem, and we've had nights colder than this one coming up ... relax and worry about something worth the space in your head! Well ... except the winter I forgot to drain the Motard and it blew a seam out in both radiators... fixed it in an hour with some 2-part epoxy, still holding to this day in it's new re-birth as a dirtbike! But I digress...

i know where we can get some in jersey no need to import.
Although it might be a fun ride down and maybe I can get her to split the fuel costs. I may have to work on that idea.

Re: Count Down Untill 2012 Season!
Can't believe I'll be riding this bike for the first time tomorrow...I feel like we know each other so well already. If I bring hookers, does that make me fast?

Ha, I honestly didn't even think of it that way, I have no idea if he's fast.
I figure if I bring hookers, and it makes me fast its a win-win.

You will have to ask the hooker.
Re: Count Down Untill 2012 Season!
If you bring hookers you will be the fastest guy at the track. Rich brought a hooker last year and he was wicked fast guy.

Re: Count Down Untill 2012 Season!

Re: Count Down Untill 2012 Season!
So after more careful inspection of my Suomy Vandal...it doesn't say its ece certified anywhere on the helmet, or its extremely hidden underneath the padding....Its on all the tags that came with the helmet, and on the specifications of the helmet listed everywhere. Is this going to be a problem? I'm bringing spares that I know will pass with me, but I'd rather use my new one.
Leaving shortly, probably will be up there around 9:30 or so.
