As
much
as
I
hate
to
say
it,
it’s
getting
to
be
that
time
of
year
again.
Time
to
think
about
preparing
our
bikes
for
storage
and
saying
goodbye
to
our
favorite
past
time
for
a
few
months.
It’s
November
and
the
cooler
days
are
here.
It
is
important
to
properly
winterize
your
motorcycle
or
scooter
before
placing
it
in
storage.
Winterizing
ensures
your
bike
will
be
ready
to
ride
on
that
occasional
warm
winter
day
and
in
the
spring
when
it’s
time
to
dust
‘er
off
again.

needs
to
be
done
to
winterize?

out
of
gasoline
Wash
the
entire

“to
