I've only put my bike away once and that was due to surgery. I realize in some places that may not be practical, but even when I lived in Iowa I could count on at least 500 miles a winter.

My bike was usually stored by the end of October. Once I go through the storage procedure, wash and wax, oil and filter change, battery off and the bike in the storage shed it stayed there until all the snow was gone and the temps were in the mid teens.
That is usually the 2nd or 3rd week of April. I am currently bikeless with no plans to get another. I have said that twice before and ended up getting a Voyager and then an FJR. |

I've use Wesson oil. It's good enough for Florence Henderson.
