Safe water level for freezing overnight?

[Ernest Montague]

Don't trailer the bike in 30 weather unless you cover the radiator, the 
breeze blowing through will freeze it at 32.

Do you have power?  A 50 watt lightbulb in a socket provides enough 
warmth. You can also bring an old blanket and wrap the motor and rad 
over night.  32 won't be problem , 22 will.

At 32 it take a long time to freeze a large quantity of water, at 22 
much shorter.
