Pacific north west....... Bike will be back in action march April I would guess, I would not really sweat it too much, put the bike away clean and dry with a fresh oil and filter change, put the battery on a tender, drop off the carb bowls to drain gas from the carb and from fuel lines. You might want to spray alloy with something protective.

That's about it

A hundred miles yesterday, a hundred today, and probably for the rest of the week. Yesterday was icy though, and right around 32 degrees. It sucked but I didn't wreck.

I haven't tried riding in the snow yet. If the temps got below 25 or so it probably wouldn't be too bad.
