Hey Chicagoans!

I've only ever ridden my buddy alone or with someone on the back. I have never ridden with other buddies or other scooters. Is there any etiquette I should know about? Anyone want to go for a ride around Chicago?

Also can someone post a link to the thread about which battery tender I should buy for this next winter? (I do not have an outlet in my garage and will therefore have to remove the battery and bring it in the house.)

Finally, anyone have any success with the griplock? http://www.webbikeworld.com/r2/motorcyc ... grip-lock/

Hey... welcome
check out this thread
topic4035.html
some chicago ride info in that

I always bring in my batterys (for the toys) in the winter
I hear good things about a the battery tenders, but I have not spent the money myself (have 7 batteries - ATVs, sleds, boat, etc) I just throw the regular battery charger on them twice a winter to "top them off"
I assume the people that sell the battery tenders have a reason that is not good, but it works for me
I have been told by a mechanic that the important thing is to not let them freeze & to keep them charged up..... again, I am not an expert, but that is what I was told.
