The Pats and Red Sox have spoiled us long suffering Boston fans these last few years.

We had mid 45 temps today and tomorrow we may hit 50. Snow is melting. Global warming is cool.

Hey MNBoxster, I talked to someone from Minn. today and she said this winter has been real mild out there. I thought Minn. winters were supposed to be the worst?

Back to topic: I always let the engine warm up good before getting on it hard. All mating surfaces hot and expanded so we have good seals. Don't want any blown gaskets.

Off topic: Harley partnered with Porsche in developing their V Rod motor. It was their first production water cooled V twin motor. They must have figured that Porsche had experience with transitioning from air cooled technology to water cooling.
