If it's above 45° I ride, luckily we usually do not have extended periods of COLD here. If there is an extended time of bitter cold I find something to paint, powdercoat or modify and tear it down during the cold spell.

Plastic is a rodent's tasty treat...not going to do much good if/when they invade.
This year, for winter storage, it was easy...local HD running a winter storage deal for $49 from 01 Nov - 01 Apr. Yes, that's $49 for 5-total months of storage. They already picked-up the FLHX b/c I ride the Sporty into the early winter months. Nice having some extra garage space this year.

Another way that I've used to guard against mice is to get those sticky traps. I place them all around where the tires touch the ground and for a bike on it's side stand, place them around that also. That way mice can't climb up onto the bike, possibly chewing on those nice tasty wires!
