Default winterizing my bike

hi, just starting to think about storing my bike for the winter.I'll be putting it in a heated building and would like to hear any hints on things to do or not do.My biggest question is if it matters or not to change the oil before storage.I've heard that the oil should be changed before storage and I'm wondering what anyone else has to say.If anyone has more tips send them along too! Hope to get lots of help

A battery tender is a good idea.

It really sucks going to ride for the fist time of the season only to find the battery is dead.

My plans to winterize my Sporty is to wear my leather jacket, chaps and gloves. And ride more often then last year.
