I put mine away September 2018 and will not be able to use it again till mid June 2020. That will be 16 months. Life as a sailor has huge drawbacks some times. Living at the very top of Wisconsin does not help either.
I will have to work on the ship all of the 2019 summer riding months. Oh I might get a break at the end of September but it is not looking good. Plus I would break it out just to have to put it away in a few months and do the full winter prep again. It takes me a full day to do this. Ugh!
When my bikes are laid up for long periods I do a full winter storage prep on them. I do drain the gas and refill with fresh every year.
The longest I had a bike laid up was over 2 years. My 1986 Honda VFR mint condition. I do not ride it much. Worried about damaging it... body parts are not to be found. But when I do ride it... amazing bike still to this day.
