Don't ride in NEO in winter as a new rider. SALT! Best case it makes everything rust. Worst case, you find a patch where it's laid down so heavy it's more like gravel. Also the roads are still hella cold and that makes a giant difference in grip.
Tuck the bike away in the garage. Do all the maintenance it needs so you minimize down time in the summer months. Watch every motorcycle documentary you can find on Netflix. Practice SLPR in the car and make a point to work on awareness/vision. But do yourself a favor and don't ride in winter in NEO as a new rider. Just accept that your riding season ends somewhere between Halloween and Thanksgiving and doesn't start again until the rainy season of spring.
