It looks like it could be rainy and cold until after Thanksgiving (cold for us is mid 50's). Anyone go 3 weeks without driving their 800/c50? Will the battery hold enough charge to start it, or do I have to hook up a trickle charger?

Riding in the mid-50°s is not a problem at all! Your battery should be fine though. 8)

Unless your battery is weak to start with, shouldn't be any problem. It wouldn't hurt, but I don't think it'd be necessary. Longer than 3 weeks and it'd certainly be advisable, just to avoid any unnecessary delays in getting back on the road.

And what kind of girlie-man quits riding when it hit's the 50's?

Rode today and it was 52 degrees. It's the rain that will keep me off the bike. The SUV people on the cell phones are one thing. In the rain, it's suicide.

I started and ran my GZ 250 last night. I haven't touched that bike in over a month. Poor little thing....

My 01 Vol sat for 5 months last winter and started right up.
