Don't.
Winter is a great time to get your must have customizing or time consuming repairs done.
Some of the things that wrenches like to see coming into the shop at this time are top in rebuilds, persistent leaks, horny naked women, and engine machine work. Bringing your bike in for general maintenance will keep you on the road come spring, and a wonderful preventative for staying out. The list is a scientific poll from various mechanics in various shops.
Winter is also the best time to have that talk with your wrench. You know the talk, the one where you have all these grandiose plans for your bike. Winter is a slow time for mechanics, they are better able to answer all your questions and give you your best options, rather than in the spring where the hustle and bustle of making sure that bikes are out of the shop and under the owner in a short time.
A big mistake that many owners do, is forgetting about needed work until riding season comes around. If you have a problem, or there is something that is concerning you, talk to your wrench now, rather than later. The turn around rate for major repairs at this time is much quicker than in the spring and summer. And if you don't talk now, please hold your tongue come spring, it's your fault that your ride is up on the lift. Think ahead and have your wrenches complete attention.
