Hate to think it's coming, but here is what I do in MI.
Fill tank and add StarTron
Change oil and primary (trans has about 10k to go)
Jack it up and wipe it down with an instant detailer that contains wax.
Hook up tender
Close garage door until riding weather

Polish it up good, pull it in the living room and keep it dusted off.
