Winter Storage at local dealer
So, I am considering the following deal offered at my local HD dealer:
Winter storage at the facility (heated) from October thru April 1st.
All fluids drained, battery placed on smart charge. Call in spring one week ahead of pick-up, and they re-fill fluids, inspect the bike, test ride it, and you pick it up.
Cost: $295.00 total. NOT per month.
Worth it? Smart?

I guess if you don't have a garage or something to keep your bike in AND you don't plan on riding it for six months... But then, what you should save on insurance would cover the cost of storage. I'd do it if I knew for sure I wasn't going to ride and had no other storage options.

So basically 60 bucks a month with a free oil change. I guess that's alright if you lay up your bike for 6 months. I ride year round, even if I didn't, I'd want my bike in my garage where I can keep an eye on it, not crammed in a garage bay somewhere with umpteen other bikes and having God-knows-who messing around with it during the storage.

Up here in the northeast, once late October settles in, there are not many days - maybe only a handful - that even venture into the 60's. Then come end of November, early december the deep freezes start to come in and after march, it's a mixed bag of crap and cold.
Now, before someone calls me a name that is best left for either a feline or part of the human female anatomy, I have to say that part of the reason I enjoy riding is getting out in the nice weather on 2 wheels. That cannot really be done safely or enjoyably from October to April around here. Just my opinion.
