Come back safe.
Yeah, what he said. Six months is nothing. Just put on a batt tender, cover, fuel stabil, pay ins. Make sure your will specifically spells out what to do in case you step on a popper. Enjoy Afghanistan.

You could put a cover on it and put a gold bar or gold rod under it. This is what I have in my gun safe to keep it dry, not expensive either.

They make a plastic bubble that you can park your bike in. I saw it once in a shop.

Check out a gun shop, or cabelas, gander mountain, something like that should have them. They plug into the wall and draw hardly any power, and keep the area dry. Works great.

Thanks for all the replies so far...I have a few new ideas now. Any more? I'm going shopping for supplies this weekend.

Come back safe.
I used to use bounce in my snow machine air boxes w/o a problem so I used them in my 40' travel trailer.. didn't go so well. the lil bastards (mice) made a nest right on top of the bounce sheet, ate all the decon and looked at me like I was the crazy one! I have never seen this before. Since then I have been using the moth ***** w/o a problem. the only draw back would be the smell but if you ride fast enough you can outrun the stink.

oh yea, I kinda dig this whole freedom thing so thanks for serving.
