Winter Storage

This is something that I've read from so many different members; I store mine here, or there, or I dont' store. So it would be interesting to see who does what with their bikes over the winter.
I've tried to be as outlandish as possible but had to limit myself to 5 "in house" options, if I've missed yours, then just tick the nearest option.

Have fun

I find that anywhere where there are no temperature extremes work best. If I had my way the bikes would rotate through the living room, on the basis that it would force me to do a really good detail job on them. Unfortunately the missis is not sympathetic to that, despite my claims that there would be no oil leaks and no fuel in the tanks. Go figure.

Mine stays in the garage.  I mentioned to the wife about using the three season porch but that did not go over to well.  It is still a cold space but would be much easier to heat occasionally to work on the bike.  As it is only parts that are easy to remove get worked on during the winter.   Before I was married I lived in a big old Victorian house with a bunch of guys.  During that time the bike stayed in the dining room over the winter.
