Maybe your basement? 'Cause, you KNOW you'll need 'em at least once during the winter. And, you'll probably use the ATV for snow plowing & misc. hauling, so that will be started enough times during the cold weather, I would think. For the rest of it, I think the time to "do" stuff is in the springtime - get it all tuned up and ready for the season.
