I just did a "once over" on my bike today getting it ready for the next warm day. I checked all the fuel lines, break lines, tire pressure, brake fluid, all the nuts and screws. I did do an oil change (Mobil One Oil) right when I put it away and used fuel stabilizer. Did I get it all? What do you guys do to get ready for spring?

As long as you got the fuel stabilizer before you put it away it should be fine. It was a good idea to check all that you did, especially the tire pressure as that can leak out over a few months inactivity.

Have you fired it up yet?

I sure did! She was not happy about being left for the last 5 or 6 months. Took a couple of trys and some sweet talk but, she fired up just fine. I did take a very cold(40 degrees or so) ride yesterday, but it was nice to get that first of the year ride in. I have never been on a bike when snow was still covering the fields.
