Default oil return line

so my bike has sat for a while and while i ran the bike to warm up the oil to get as much out as possible, I would like to pump out as much old as i can before i start to ride again this spring. the oil is at least 4 years old and has less than 1000 miles on it in the same time. this is why i want as much out as i can. if you guys tell me just ride it with a normal change, and maybe do another one in 2500 or even 1000 miles thats fine. but my question is, which oil line is the return? i have a 1990 Heritage. there is three hoses right at the bottom of the tank, just don't know which one is coming back. if I'm going about this all wrong let me know. thanks

It's the line that runs to your oil filter.

Really, though, change the oil and don't worry about it.
