Salt on the roads

It might be fine for cars but the greasy stuff (Salt) they put down in most towns isn't very good for two wheel riders.
I ride a small trail machine most days and too often have both front and back wheel drifting; it's ok on country roads where salt hasn't been laid.
I am looking forward to the rain to wash the salt away.

It would seem it’s that time of year again. Car was fully iced up as was I this morning. Think my bike might be staying in the garage for a few months more......
That said I am a fair weather Gixxer rider

Well ok... Maybe not. A library picture would do. Just wondering what it is you have.
