Winter Salt UK

[froudy]

To all you lucky lads in warmer climes, this is what we have to put up with Winter riding in the UK
I hate seeing the bike in this state...I'm just off outside to do a full clean..

[Notty]

don't let Dave see that Steve not a pretty sight !! drove to Brisol yesterday and when I left the car was clean and now looks like your bike !!

They were lovely casings 
At least they are powder coated so wipe clean 
A good wash and a coating of acf50 be as good as new.

[Kiwifruit]

Pleased we dont have to contend with salt here........just hope its not too hot tomorrow at the Street races. 

[grog]

not sure id deal with that, must be so hard for you blokes. nothing anywhere in oz like that.

[froudy]

All clean again now

Had to tighten the front sprocket and Threadlock it again as it had worked loose. Also some lube on the rear brake pedal pivot as it was seizing up with all the salt.

[froudy]

Lovely 

Thanks Seth..
But only until I ride into work tomorrow night...Nice while it lasts though

Looking sweet ! 

[seth]

Indeed but keeping it washed and it'll do you years more yet

Oh yes..It gets washed every week through the winter..And it's paying off

And if Dave says anything about the water marks on the rad grille...It wasn't my usual meticulous clean as it'll get covered in salt again tomorrow night when I ride to work

Only good thing is seeing how nice they come up again when cleaned properly 

I'm still finding bits of heather in mine after touring Scotland in Oct!

[KiwiCol]

Is Heather the one you had the bra n nail kit for Red?

[Sweaty]

That would drive me nuts boys.

[grog]

Im with you Sweaty.
