I do. But then I am in northcentral Wisconsin. Change the oil and filter. Clean the tappet screen. Lube cables. Top off master cylinders. Change primary and trans if I am on a 5k interval. Add Stabil to fuel tank, top off and run into carb. Clean K&N air cleaner and fog cylinders. Lastly, put the battery on a tender and place bike on a lift to take weight off the tires.

Oh yeah, read her a bed time story cause its gonna be a long winter.

I dont... there is only a few times I dont ride through the winter... when its below 30* & or raining....sorry for the yanks..

 

[Magoo]

Just put my dog to bed, did same as Dawgboy did, except covered mine up.

I winterize with a little Jack Daniels as needed.

 

[07bigdog]

I stored mine the same way as Dawgboy and Magoo. Canadian winters can be real long.

The hell with that! Tank up on some Jack Daniels (You're winterized) place some studded tires on those dogs (Pups winterized) and ride...:roll::roll::roll:

Ditto with dawgboy however there may be a few riding days left so I'm not quite ready to slam the door yet. Ohh yes I remove the battery, cover the bike up and put it in a bubble with desiccant bags ready to go in the spring.

Yeah, it was pretty brutal this morning, down to almost 60! Those San Diego winters can be tough! (Expected to be above 80 today)

Lucky devil! It's supposed to be sunny and 58 degrees in Chicago this Sunday.
If so, I'm planning to take the 'Dog out for one last run before 5 months of winter hibernation.:zzdisappointed::bang:

 

[KLRDOG]

I live in Wisconsin and 2 years ago I rode Nov 31st.

 

[Mad Dog]

I'm pretty much winterized however like Earl I reserve the right to ride until the first application of salt.:bang:
After that wash,tender and cover.

Quite a feat, considering there's only 30 days in November! :lol: You must mean you rode on November 31st in your dreams, right..living in No. WI! Just kidding with ya'!
They have the Annual Toys for Tots Run here in Chicago every year on December 1st...makes no sense! :loony:
I can't remember the last time it wasn't below freezing with snow & ice on Dec. 1st around here.anic2:
