1. Yep. I did the same.
Screw it, I'm already stacking stuff around it in the garage. :D

Don't forget to drain the carb. Or, do like me, forget every year and drain in the spring.

2. put fuel stabilizer in...
turned off the fuel and let it run out. was going to pull the battery but couldn't loosen the screws :argh:

it is in a neighbor's shed for the winter. I'll go over a couple times and let her run for a minute or two.

4. I rode my new bike to work today for the first time!
For some reason it's 80 degrees in Denver today. :) I really need to get a summer jacket, because flop sweat at work is frowned upon.

Even so, I'm still thinking about winter storage. It could easily snow later this week. Now, if I can only find a cover that fits a Super Sherpa I'll be in business.
