Out here in the woods, I just use some tie-downs up in the tree branches and suspend the bike like abear bag........ (That really works until the wind picks up, then it kinda swings around like a big pinata. I use the shotgun to ward off the neighbor kids and their sticks.)
Seriously, I'm with zz; unless it's single digit temps or Mr. Friction is MIA, I'm probably out on a ride.

Diesel works well also.

I had to park a truck of mine over the winter a few years back. But anyway at that timewe had the 10% ethanol fuel in Eastern WA. I used some of that Stabil fuel stabalizer and it works great. Didnt cause any problems in my pickup...
