Fine, ride your nicest bike on the salty roads...I have six bikes too, which means I have 5 other bikes I can (and do) ride all winter long so the road bike can avoid the crappy roads and get some new pieces parts come February or so. I have no clue why someone would want to subject their nicest bike/car/motorcycle to winter roads if they don't have to.
