Unless you use a stand for the rear, too, a la 
<http://www.pit-bull.com/Reversible%20One%20Armed%20Rear.htm>. I have 
one of these, and although it's really overkill, I get an inappropriate 
amount of enjoyment from using such a well-crafted item.

Also, although I'm not saying Ken's advice was wrong, I'd prefer to have 
a full gastank to minimize the space for condensation at the top. I have 
no empirical reason for this preference, though.

Battery tender, oil change (w/ cheapest oil you can find, since you'll 
put fresh good stuff in before you ride again), a thorough wash-n-wax, 
and an extra-thick coating of chain lube and you should be set.
