Uninsulated garage here. I leave a 5000 watt heater on low which keeps the temps above freezing. The only thing I do is shut the water off. It's worked well for the past 12 years or so.

My insulated three car garage in Montana would get down to 37° in the winter, so I installed a propane overhead furnace to take the chill off.
That was a good move......still too cold, and a very short riding season. I finally said "F it" and moved to Florida. No more snow for me.

Only thing I bring in is the battery from the bike. I don't run a trickle charger so I just take it inside.
I also make sure the Harley water bottle on the bike is empty too.

I keep it all in the garage year round. Live in Eastern NC and it gets below freezing a few times during the winter.

Keep any latex based paint or caulk in the basement year round. Liquid waxes and such stay out in the "man cave" . Give 'em a good shake in the spring and have never had a problem.
My garage is insulated and one of these days I'll get permanent heat put in out there (been saying that for 2 years) and the latex stuff will then be evicted from its cozy nest in the basement.
