The "book" always says to change oil based on miles or time interval, but I understand your dilemma. Same thing applies to brake fluid and coolant. One of my bikes sees very little use, perhaps 500 miles per year, and I don't bother to change its oil annually. It's more out of laziness than thrift. I hesitate to give you guidance but I don't disagree with your rationalization.
