Unhappy Put her away today!
Well after Hurricane Sandy left nothing but debris & branches in the city streets & the November temps here shortly I put the HD fuel stabilizer in the tank & put her up on the J&S Jack to get the wheels off of the concrete in the garage. I hooked up the HD smart battery tender & covered her with the HD indoor cover. Sleep my black beauty till I awaken you in April! Sad day......

Good Luck, I still got mine out till the snow hits. Plus my excuse for not putting it away is my lazyness to give it an oil change yet

feeling the pain, back surgery next Tuesday, off the bike for up to 6 months, backing it into the garage the other day sure was hard.

When I lived up north, (NE & IL) I never put my bike completely away, but riding was rather limited, I know how you feel, one of the things I don't miss.
