I'm just soft; or rather my bike is. Spent the last 3 months turning an exceptional conditon bike into a better conditioned one - I'm not abusing it by saturating its exposed alloy with motorcycle-disentergrating-salt.

i have got into a habit of getting home, get the hose out and just wash it with plain water, gets most of the salt off and all the crap then proper wash it when you can

got a solution spray the other day but only works if you brush it on Twisted Evil mission,.,..

I run a bucket of hottish water (as engine still hot) and
my battered old GPZ gets a bath every night, spoilt eh? Laughing
even if it's raining when i get home, then gets towelled down n put in the shed, exhuasts have still gone rusty, and I cant quite get to the swingarm/rear shock Crying or Very sad

come better weather both of those are coming off for a bit of tlc.
I can fully understand some one who spends ages cleaning their pride and joy not wanting to take it out in the crappy salt. Thumbs Up
