Default WhenDo You Store Your Bike?

Just trying to get a feel for when we Canadians park our bikes for the winter (if you do). Myself, I try to gauge when the roads people are going to drop salt and sand on the roads, and put it into storage just before.

Usually after the first snow thats going to stick around. First few snowfalls generally melt pretty quick so they usually don't salt these.

I change all the fluids, put a couple extra pounds in the tires, give it a good cleaning, plug in the battery tender, throw a sheet over it, and that's it. It's always ready for a ride on those occasional clear, clean (roads), winter days.
