Yep,

My poor bike is in garage, up on jacks (wheels off floor) battery plug'd in to a maintainer, and oil and filter was replaced with fresh oil and new filter..and covered over with a breathable blanket............

Time to pull out the snow skies a pray for lot of snow.......... (i know many of you hate me NOW for say'n this....lol)

“WOOF”……….😁..
 
Planning to take our trike to my Indy for winter storage and some work next week. Sad that the season is over. The good news is that we put over 9,000 on her this season. 1,000 as a bike and 8,000 as a trike!:clapping:
 
I have friends that say, "come on" one "last ride"....................Those two words scare me :afraid: At least I know that I will still have my bike this coming April 1st...........

I've ride'n enough this season, that one more ride, is not going to make me a better person, and I know that it was put away correctly :whiteflag:

I've seen folks that wait till the first snow, (or it too cold) to service it the right way, and just put it in a shed, and hope it starts this coming next season...

I go through it 100% before it's away for the entire winter period.......

A) Oil ~n~ filter changed

B) Spark plugs replaced

C) Radiator fluid replaced

D) Gas stabilizer in fuel (and ridd'n so I know it's in the injectors) no carb's on my bike

E) Up on jacks so no tires are on cement floor

F) Fogging oil sprayed into each spark plug holes (so cyl's are coated)

G) Battery connected to a battery maintainer charger

H) covered over with a breathable blanket

I) wash'd ~n~ wax 100% of the bike/especially all the "real chrome"
