Have her in the shop? -.-'
Hehe Phil goes out about once a week the the storage unit to run the bikes for ten - twenty minutes to make sure the battery stays charaged and circulate the fuel... (I am not to sure on the latter part)
His dad puts some solution in the fuel to stableize it and has a solar pannel hooked up through the trailer to the bike's battery... | |

That's not bad. I personally know of couple of people that pull their bikes inside their house in order to make sure the bike "survives the winter" | |

I take the stabilizer with me to the fuel station and put it in the tank before or right after I fuel (depending on if I know how much I'm about to put in). Then take it for a nice little ride through some twisties to shake the fuel about thouroughly and make sure I've gotten stabilized fuel into my carbs. Then take her home and cover (assuming she was clean to begin with). A battery tender is an excellent idea if you so choose. My bike never sits for more than a month though so I've never hooked mine up or had a dead battery problem. | |
