Default Anyone else take their S out today?

Given the good weather we've been having (considering it is January), I took the S out for a New Year's Day drive. Didn't have time to go deep into the country, but man, it was great regardless. Apparently a lot of others had the same idea as I saw quite a bit of cool, rare and exotic machinery on the roads, including a Jaguar E-Type (one of the most beautiful cars ever made) and a new Masserati Spyder. All in all, a great way to cure a hangover.

Yup, I took mine out, about 4 feet out of the garage so I had enough room to work on the motorcycle. I had taken the battery out of the car but had not gotten to the bike yet.

TAM S2, you need to get that battery onto a trickle charger or it will only get worse. The best way to charge a battery is over a long period of time with a low voltage. I use a 2-amp charge on a battery tender. I run it from Friday night to Monday morning every other weekend.
