          What about the other 3 Ray ? Holding out for indigenous people summer.....
          The weather this fall has been unbelievable up here! I was deer hunting last weekend and there is still nice riding left this week. I agree with Ray916MN. I run mine longer before changing oil, so I can get my "last ride fix" before being mothballed, leaving one to ride until the snow flies. Another mentioned temp swings in the garage, Spring warm temps and a cold garage = not good. Keep the door closed! Stored my original GS in the corner of the garage under a blanket and was not one spec of rust in the tank after being there since the early 80's. 30+ years. I leave the battery in all of 'em and just move the battery tender around when I remember.
