Start it up once a week or so, and let it run for 15-20 minutes. Keeps the battery charged. If not, I now have a trickle charger. 1st thing in spring--drain old gas if any is left, and change the oil. Check air in tires and ride.

It seems like if you go in periodically to start the bike, it would be easy to just roll it a few inches so the same spot isn't in contact with the ground all winter. I think tires will "flat spot" if you leave them stationary for too long as the air pressure gets low, regardless of what they are sitting on.

Possibly helpful tidbit: That $30 lift you can make out of a levered piece of 4x6 is only good for lifting the front OR back tire.. not both at the same time.

That which can be destroyed by the truth should be. - P.C. Hodgell
