Here in Quebec... still a lot of time for good riding with all the colors of fall.
When the time comes, just fill her up, plug the battery, put the cover on and let her sleep in the heated garage
But this year I'm brigning the bike in Florida for 5 weeks... the hibernation will only start mid January

Not bad, I'm thinking it's Capital HD. I live a bit N/E of the airport. I got my 14 King at Perry HD 80 mile drive one way but worth it to me, not a big fan of the Father and Son ownership at Capital. I do like the parts department and I miss Mike, he was a nice guy.

When I was stationed at ft drum in upstate NY I put my bike in a harley bubble and it stayed bone dry! That thing worked great, it was an interesting conversation piece too, looked like a big snow globe with a harley in it haha.. Now I am back home in florida so I don't need it anymore, I would make you a deal on it if you want.
I don't know about HD, but you can get one from car capsule, about $270. Not a bad thing to get if you live in high humidity areas like I do. At times my garage use to get dripping wet and I picked on up for my Camaro (use to have) after noticing rust on my header bolts and after spending hours polishing the car, blower and all the chrome, it would be stained and ruined by one humid day. We put a lot of money into these bikes, it's a good way to protect it. I've since tiled my garage floor with plastic diamond plate tiles, has not been an issue ever since.

I usually ride until they spread the salt/sand crap on the road sometime in late November. Then I put her in the garage on my J&S jack lift her off the ground. I then put fuel stabilizer in the tank. I put a blanket under the bike to cut down on moisture. Plug in the HD smart trickle charger, put HD cover over her & pray for spring to arrive fast. I don't stress about storing the bike! Its a 800 LB Motorcycle!
