Ditto;

I store up to a dozen cars, bikes, etc. for 6 months at a time every winter for the last 20 years or so. IMO, periodic starting is bad for them unless you let them completely warm up and put them under load......otherwise you are adding condensation and acids to the oil, condensation in the exhaust and generally doing more harm than good.
