    Removing the battery for winter storage

    Since I don't have a power outlet in my garage I have to remove the battery from the bike and plug it in the trickle charger in my basement. Other than the fiddly job of removing the fairing, is there a downside to removing the battery from the bike ? (ECU-programming-wise) ?

    Winter Storage for the Paul Smart

    My wife had asked me to clean up the man-cave and organize the garage a bit. With winter coming I was happy to oblige. Not sure she had this in mind and the 'are you ....... kidding me?' line may have hinted toward a slight objection... but it's done. :D

    Left bike with forks compressed in storage....

    I left my bike in PDX a few days ago, won't be back for 4 weeks (7/4,5 and 6 at The Ridge). I forgot to loosen the front straps (back of Tacoma) and the forks are slightly compressed. Is it going to hurt anything? Mat
