+1 - last year, we had a week during November in the 60's.
If the temp goes over 40deg. on any day - I am taking her for a ride.

Winterizing

I fill the gas as full as I can, add stabil, let it run for a bit to circulate the stabil in the fuel system, change the oil and filter, Plug the battery tender into the pre-wired plug ($6.00 from the dealership and you just plug and unplug) clean and wax, cover it up after it has had ample time to dry, and pray for Spring to come. I have heard once you store it do not ride it until it is time to de-winterize it.

What do you mean..'de winterize'?? Sounds to me like you're ready to go.

check the air? clean your jacket?
