I like Lee's thoughts.
Motorcycles like to be ridden. If you have the clothing, we have enough good riding days at our latitude to keep the gasoline fresh and everything lubricated.
In my neighborhood, rains are frequent enough that some of the rural roads see plenty of days without salt dust. (However, since road salt is one of the last of the nearly unregulated means for disposal of industrial waste, some municipalities lay it on frequently, thick, and with little provocation.)
After almost all rides (year-round), I usually rinse my bike off, wipe it down (looking for loose pieces and such), ride it for 20 minutes (if possible, on a salt-free road), and throw it in the heated garage. (Yes - as above - I generally use a CTek tender connected directly to the battery if the bike's not moving for a week.)
