Depends how you use the bike, i'm all year round, so oil and grease stays on the engine throughout winter to protect from general crap and salt.
I only tart it up in forecasted good weather!

That's exactly my train of thought. If you leave the crap on your bike, it prevents further crap getting to the bike
Or is that just me being a lazy got and not washing it :rolleyes

Best thing to do, Just before winter kicks in, give it a good clean top to bottom!
The coat the foc-er (do you see what I did there?) in ACF-50. Let the bike get very dirty over winter, but don't worry it's got a tonne of ACF-50 on it.

When Summer arrives wash it and BAM! Shiney bike
