Besure to fill the tank to the top with gas, help keep it from rusting.

if cover is not breathable, moisture/condensation gets trapped inside = nasty water spots or worse, rust!

Just to throw in my two cents:

1: Put it on a lift & get the wheels off the ground. Just an inch or so. Make sure to use tie-downs, and tell wifey not to touch them for any reason.

2: Stuff some steel wool into the exhaust.

3: Pull the sparkies & oil the jugs.

4: Hook up an H-D smart charger.

5: Stabil in the (full) tank.

6: Coat all exposed wiring with electrical grease.

7: Wash & wax the bike real good (after the last ride).

8: Disconnect any after-market accessories.

9:Ease up on the tire pressure by 5 lbs or so.

10: Talk to your insurance agent. Ask them to adjust your policy to cover "acts of God" and such while you're gone.

11: Kiss your wife, hug the kids, call your folks. They're the reason you joined, and the reason you're here.

12: Come home safe & sound.

-Thanks for your VOLUNTARY service! We owe you more than we could ever pay-
