what a joker you are Dan.

I should be putting the handguards back on before much longer. This might be the last week of temps in the 80s.

Here in Texas, I just move my bike to the side of the garage closer to the house. We only have about 2 weekends of winter like the end of Jan, first of Feb.

nobody has mentioned STA-BIL gas additive. i do most of what's been mentioned plus add the STA-BIL and sit my bike up on the bike jack just enough to get the weight off the tires. here in missouri, we sometimes get a few good days for riding during the winter(suppose to be 75 here this weekend), so i like to have mine ready if the nice weather hits. i've put this bike up for sale, but if i don't get any hits on it, i do plan to modify an indian chief front fender to it this...

The last ride of the season is always the same. I take it to the spray and wash, then the gas station, then home for an oil change. Then she sits under her cover until after the Super Bowl. Then she gets a thorough cleaning and waxing plus whatever big maintenance she needs. This winter: Primary gears.

It sounds like you live in the north, so fall & winter are a great time to work on a bike. Some how, I don't mind seeing my bike in small piles all over the garage if it's raining or snowing outside.

Changing the fluids and filters in the fall makes a lot of sense. Leaving in the old oil over the winter can cause some damage. The old oil may have some water mixed in and could cause rusting or corrosion.

Another overlooked item is the brake fluid. This...

That's easy. I just ride it as much as possible, and if it sits for more than a week, then I hook it to a slow charger to keep the battery up to par.
