this season is coming to an end?

This riding season seems to be coming to an end. I rode around yesterday after I put the stock seat back on to see if I could ride at a higher height, now that I've grown accustomed to the bike feel. It was cold (around 50 degrees) so the tires definitely felt different (less grippy). It didn't stop me from riding around the streets of Lombard though. The cold weather got me thinking about what I still have left to do to winterize my bike and get it ready for winter storage.

I need to put the fuel stabilizer in there and clean the bike. I should learn how to put it up on stands.. I know how, but I can't actually do it. Rex dropped my bike when he tried to show me yesterday.

here are some good articles I found on winterizing a motorcycle:
