(and BTW...presently as a sideline to his job of saving lives, the guy in this video also sells some really cool goodies for our bikes...that's just in case you might wanna buy somethin' for it while I'm guessin' YOUR bike is being "winterized" right now!!!!)

Very funny. Another funny one around here... People are always sayin to me... This is gonna be the "bad" one! A really cold winter! Every single year, they start sayin this around November. And, eventually, they'll be right!

Love it! Just about lost my coffee at -10... The little 7 year old neighbor girl came out selling cookies 2 weeks ago and it had to be at least that cold before windchill.
