de-winterizing

Quick question -
In december I winterized the bike by changing the oil, adding StaBil and hooking up to a battery tender. It's unexpectedly warm today in the Catskills so I'm thinking of taking it out for a ride.
Is it necessary to change the oil again after winterizing? I put in fresh oil and a new filter before winterizing.
Thanks.

If I was to change anything it would be the Gas, I did what you did and my gas went sour. Yep foul plugs .

I just took it out. Couldn't wait. Everything seemed fine.
Man, I needed that.
Cruised down a road right below a high ice-covered sheer with a bunch of people ice-climbing on it, even though it's 60 degrees out. Cool.

May I tell you just how much I hate you right now? Riding season has pretty much begun here and I can't ride for at least another six weeks...I HATE YOU, I HATE YOU, I HATE YOU, I HATE YOU... in fact I pretty much hate everybody who is riding right now.
the season

So, the riding season has begun in your neck of woods? Now, I'm not going to repeat everything you said to him, but I share the sentiment

Jeez, if you hate him you must be absolutely pissed at me... I've put over 500km on my Ural since 1 Jan 09.
Here's a photo I took on my ride yesterday...

Where in Canada is it that nice? Sure isn't 'Peg, I think they are still under a couple feet of snow. Same as Fargo. Shoot, I still have about 2 months of winter to look forward to.

Went sledding yesterday. In knee deep snow and that was in the prairies.
Not even close to riding yet. Oh well who said life was fair.
