For the first time in many years I am having to keep my bike (a Spyder RT) outside for the winter, covered, and with a Battery Tender, but outside the garage. This morning it is 30 degrees here, and there's not much hope for more nice riding weather as the winter approaches. I think it may be time to add the Stabil, stuff some rags into the exhaust, put a few packets of the peppermint on the seat (to deter rodents), and secure the cover. At my age of 83, looking forward to next Spring is a gamble, but it looks like I am done for this season.
