Post not valid
Thats why mine is covered up in the garage Simon - remember in Wales they start gritting the roads in August !!!! :smile2:
Up until a few weeks ago I was commuting every day on mine - it was dark when I left and dark when I got home - bike was boggin
But won the raffle for a car parking space for 3 months under the office - would have been rude not too - so thats me set until the end of February
Still looks clean to me :whistling:
Things must be tough if the work raffle prize is a carpark for 3 months.
We're a bit spoilt here in that way I suppose, we'd actually expect there to be a car park for our vehicle whilst at work. Inner city office jobs may be a bit different, but on the whole, we'd expect to have one supplied.
Lots of people here have to pay for a space to park at work, which kinda defeats the point of going to work for me.
Best keep that quiet Col, think I prefer the Meat Raffle. :whistling:

All the proceeds are for charity mate
That would definitely drive me nut's dealing with that, as i do like a clean bike.
Bike can get dirty if you use it! Keep on going! We have the same problem here.
Just remember when washing a bike covered in salt to wash al" the salt off using cold water first to get rid of all the salt then do a warm wash with suds.
Thats exactly what I do Dave.
large clods of salt fell off the front of the engine around the oil filter..
Then I use turtlewax car shampoo in hot water..
followed by a rub down with a large micro fiber towel...
Then I do the bike !!!
On a related note I was surprised at just how plastered my back was in Salt and road s#ite..
Remember mine has a standard rear fender..
It does seem to like to cover itself in muck.
if it was an animal it would be a hippo !!
so glad we dont have salt on roads, australia actually exports 120 th. tons of it to uk just to annoy you blokes. and the cricket, any comments from uk. :)
Rather the salt than cricket TBH lol :smile2:
Looks to me like someone was too generous with the salt.
We are lucky here, no salt on the roads. In the North Island when things get icey the grit truck comes out. Have to watch out for that.
Have seen how the salt affects vehicles. Just by looking at some that have been imported into NZ. I have been shocked, so feel sorry for you blokes trying to keep your bikes in tip top condition.
