Then ride it during the winter.



Not so crazy. I used to ride it year round. But NY winters being what they are, a little ice goes a long way towards introducing your posterior to the pavement.

In addition, as I aged, my ability to straighten out my legs after an hour of riding convinced me to use more civilized means of transportation. I still have my insulated Coveralls, Apple Warmer and gauntlet gloves. Just don't want to feel the pain anymore.

Also, BIG also, the Bike never could charge the battery well anyway (Honda charging systems on 1976 model year bikes are sucky). The thing is always on charge.
