So, ride it 2000 more, change the oil, and park it.
Oil is cheap, engines are not.
Change it & don't look back.

Oil is cheap, but just because a resource is cheap is no reason to squander it. If the oil is changed at reasonable intervals, say 5000 miles or yearly, don't worry about it. I have yet to see an engine ruined that was treated as such. On the other hand, I have seen plenty of ruined brake and clutch systems from the fluid being neglected. Strange we don't see as many brake fluid threads as oil threads.
Forget about your mileage - any bike going into long-term storage: change oil and filter.
Now, once I change the oil, am I not supposed to ride again until spring? I was hoping to take it out a time or 12 when the weather isn't TOO nasty.
I'm confused is he storing the bike for 30 years??
I thought this was winter storage 4 to 5 months.
Best bet is to have ridden the bike to full operating temp on the last ride to burn off any water vapors in the engine. (at least 30 miles). Store for winter and ride for another 2000 miles in the spring and then change oil.
Most of you guys are a little well excessive.
