RE: AIN'T NO CURE FOR THE WINTERTIME BLUES
I think what happens is that all the folks who end up with their rides stuck in the stable start suffering from sunlight depravation. They sit on their idle steeds and make engine noises with their mouths.
They worry about the wife and kids running the snow-blowers into the ugly blanketed heap of quilts covering their bikes, and wake up in the middle of the night trying to remember the last time they rolled their tires to prevent flat spots.
They dream of getting parts chromed that can't be seen on your hands and knees with a flashlight, and they drool over the latest wiz-bang accessory that they must have before spring's first light.
Even if it is forty below with six feet of snow on the ground, as long as the roads are dry, you will see a hundred posts about a beautiful ride they had with their heated snowsuits on, with heated seats and grips.The guyswill start admitting that windscreens and fork deflectors are good. Some will even admit that they never take them off.
It becomes absolute open season on anyone living in Florida, Texas, or California. In all CAPS you will see them venomously turn on us with new slang terms never written before. Winter-dwellers will ignor all posted questions pertaining to maintenance activities if the queryeven hints at you still being on the road while the reader suffers from cabin fever.
In the dead of winter you will see posts from folks exclaiming the merits of lower mileage on their bikes and how it is a good thing to spend nine hours under those blankets cleaning their motorcycles with a toothbrush.
Yup, it won't be long before everyone will hate us fair-weather flat-landers.

RE: AIN'T NO CURE FOR THE WINTERTIME BLUES
Two things you have to do:
1) I would definately have a Battery Tender battery charger (or similiar product) on it.
2 ) and defiantey put Sta-bil in the gas tank and run the last tankwith Sta-bil in it, to get it throught the fuel system.
and maybe 3) I'm not sure if you need to do this but,
I would also put something between the rubber tires and cement on the floor.
To stop the "flat spotting of the tires" from some sort of weird chemical reaction between rubber and cement,
anything will work cardboard, an old rug, ect, ect.
Some guys say this is just for old Bias Ply tires, but hey why take the chance. It's simple and free to do.
