Yep I am in on this contest. Fuel mileage suffers in the winter on the BMW motorcycle. Drops down to 35 mpgs. I was thinking of wrapping the front of the engine with shrink wrap to get the engine warm enough. As the temperatures cool the engine is never warm like in the summer. I also have to ride it at least 10 miles to get the oil hot enough so the sprague clutch will be ready for the next time I want to ride between the snowbanks! the sprague clutch has 2 gears. One inside and the other outer gear to the crankshaft. If the oil doesn't get warm enough then the inner gear gets stuck and will not wrap around the starter gear. Anyway Merry Christmas!
