A friend of mine has a heated electric blanket on his bike for the winter. I have batt tender and start her up every two to three weeks, roll it around so I dont get flat spots on the tires.

Put a piece of wood between the battery and whatever you set it on, especially if its concrete.
How much of that "stabil" do you add to a full tank of gas ? My buddy was changing his oil and adding something called camguard to the oil.

I agree on the batter tender. HD increases the cost of the batteries annually! The tender will save you some serious $$$.

Actually the OL held the door while I pulled it in...but she also makes sure I have plenty of beads when we go to bike rallies, so I don't miss any boobies
