Just watch out for the patches of ICE between the snow banks.
I have used stabilizer in my boat but I now don't, I go out and pump
the floats full every couple of weeks. If the fuel completely evaporates and
dries the deposits can harden (varnish). I have had no problem with the
carbs in the last five years. I would not leave the fuel on in the goose
though because if the float sticks you can flood the base with gas,
experience. Just turn it on for a few minutes every couple of weeks.
I removed the batteries and the batteries lasted three years but
when I didn't they lasted three years, too. The key is to keep them charged!
An uncharged battery can develop a memory and not take a charge. Don't know
why.

Should you leave your battery in your bike over the winter with
charging or should you take it out with occasional charging? Bob
Yes!!
Occasional charging is the operant phrase. Occasional riding is even
better...
