What do all you fellow Drifter rider out there in Drifter-land have planned for your winter down-time?(provided you live where the climate dictates down-time)

I will be pulling the fuel tank on my Drifter 1500 for re-paint due to an unfortunate incident this September:
I pulled my Harley (yeah, yeah, I know, why a Harley, what can I say) into the garage beside my Drifter, put the side-stand down, then noticed a small piece of chain laying on the floor between the bikes (yeah, yeah, I know, keep da' shop CLEAN!) reached down and flipped the chain forward away from my side-stand. So far, so good. Then, when I pulled my foot back, my pant cuff hooked the heel-tab on the side-stand and pulled it back without my noticing. Need I say more. When I let the weight of the bike down on the side-stand (which was no longer where it should be) "Crunch!" the Harley (and me) landed on the Drifter.  :'(  Nice little dent and scratch in the right side of the fuel tank; I felt like jabbing myself in the eye with a pencil just to take my mind off it!!!  ;D  So, needless to say, off with the tank and on with some new paint. At least it wasn't any worse.

Regards and such,
