Watching the morning news, there was a story about the massive winter storm in the eastern part of the U.S. They showed trucks dumping tons of salt, and spraying roads with salt compounds. Reminds me of Wisconsin. Hope all you riders have someplace covered and dry for your cycles. After the snow is gone, make sure that salt crap is washed off the roads. That stuff turns to a fine powder, like dust, and gets in every crack and spot imaginable. And, aluminum does not like salt. We in the north, know the pain of parking our bikes for months, waiting for the spring rains to clean the roads.
