I wish I could invent a device that would stab somebody in the face over the Internet.

you can leave it out but it's not really good for the bike... liquids expand putting pressure on hose and parts, rubber gaskets and hoses crack, condensation will develope inside the motor and rust some parts... If you do leave it outside just be sure to crank it a couple times a week to keep everything circulated.

I don't think I'd own a bike if I didn't have a garage or at least a shed.

Would it be better to keep it in the house? But this will void house insurance?The garage seems to get kind of damp in the summer, so I'm assuming in the winter it'll be really cold.

Just put it in your living room, it will make a beautiful coffee table. lol.

Seriously though, can't you just put it in your house? I'd do that anyday before I left a brand new bike out in the elements.

Set your bike on fire. That way the snow will never get to it.

Perhaps you should invest in Depends undergarments. Or maybe these http://www.sneakyleaker.com/sneakyleaker.asp Then you could just let go. =D

That's like the commercial where they're supposedly doing a backyard makeover (a la TLC channel), and they end up with three Yamaha machines. =D
