This is water condensing out of the cylinders. It is caused by the combustion process. Just look up at a jet plane and you'll see all kinds of condensed water caused by combustion. It happens with all motors. You need to quit making short runs to the grocery store and really get the motor warm on a long ride so it will evaporate out.

Edit: This is exactly why you do not want to run the engine in your garage during winter storage. You will never get it hot enough to evaporate the water out, so the moisture will be sitting there for months until you finally get to ride.
