Of course I will still come visit!! ;D I love you all!! As far as what I did...... I removed the battery and put it on my Battery Tender, I filled the tank all the way and put in a couple onces of Stabil fuel stabilizer. Ran it a bit to run the stabilizer through before removing the battery, filled tires to proper pressure then covered it up and put it in the shed. Cant wait untill the spring!!

I have yet to park mine for winter and do not plan on it. If she will start I am going to scoot except on ice and snow

Happy Holidays to you as well.  I plan on riding as long as the streets are clear of ice or snow.

There are some benefits to living in Mississippi. I'm thankful for year round riding. :)

 Rosie has also been put to bed for the winter........Heavy sigh   :'( ........ stabilizer in the gas tank, battery in the basement and the seat in my closet (to keep it clean, dry and critter nibble free).
 Weatherman tells us to expect a bit of snow tonight and tomorrow.  Too bad I don't have a snowmobile.

I ride all winter as well. A pair of Extreme Carhart bib overalls and a full face helmet and I can manage anything that doesn't include snow and ice. The snow only lasts a day or two when it does fall here in eastern Colorado.
