I stopped winterizing bikes back in '86. The winter weather got so unpredictably mild in Toronto that I always burned down the treated tanks of fuel. Even on sub-zero days, the wind was null and the sun high and the roads dry (but the damn road salt), the bike went for a decent run. No heated garages. The past years storage was just a canvas tent that has torn from the sun's UV. Fortunately over all the years, none of the bikes rotted. The carbureted bikes, however, were harder to start stone cold. Anyway, I enjoy the option to ride in any season - even if hell'ish.
