I have lost my mind

I think I've gone over the edge..:pinch:
It is 18 degrees outside, and I am wrenching on my 650 in an unheated storage shed:blink:
I plated the kickstart, brake and shift pedals last week and I couldn't take them just laying there not on the bike.
I think I need professional help, or.....maybe another KZ?

You really need a heater. At 18 degrees, can you feel your hands/fingers?

As i have gotten older i have given up wrenching in the winter. I piddle the days away watching ebay and craigslist for projects. then spend the rest of my time collecting parts for my fleet. i usually try to find mis-listed parts on ebay that i will get for 99 cents or whatever the starting bid it. About march or so i will go back into the garage.

18 degrees outside is still riding weather in my book as long as there is no ice on the road. I'm still trying to figure out what "the riding season" is that so many talk about. Don't even need a battery tender if you ride every day.:huh: ;)
