We had a mild winter here in Iowa last year and the bike never sat for more than a few weeks. So all my winter prep consisted of installing a windshield and lowers The year before she sat for two whole months without hitting the road. A little stabil never hurt anything, but every week or so (When the wife wasn't home to wonder what the he11 I was doing)I did open the garage door, roll her outside a little, start her up and sit there for several minutes listening to her.

We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
