Welcome to the forum! Hope you love your bike, I stated riding again at age 44 after about a 25 year lay off, and I'm hooked again. If you plan to store it for a while, I would at least recommend draining all the fuel out of it or you will probably have gum and varnish build up and bad fuel too when it's time to ride again in the spring. There's probably more you should do, check the posts like Easy Rider recommended, it's not a problem for me down south, I ride all year round pretty much every day.
