Knowing Better

About a decade ago, there was a sunny and dry (15c) New Year Day. That's when I realizing that winterizing is counterproductive, invested in some heated gear and started riding year around. It's in a heated garage, connected to a Battery Tender and with a tank full of Ultramar Premium (no alcohol), ready to roll on a whim. Since that day, my bikes haven't sat for more than a couple of weeks without being ridden, even in the middle of winter. I know it's going to start and run in the spring because I ride it regularly, down to about -10c.

I remember that day. I went for a ride and I could feel salt grit in my teeth as I was grinning how great to be out riding.
I worry about leaving the bike with salt dust all over it until spring.
I change the oil and filter in the bike and lawnmower at the end of the season too.
