Think I'll just back it out of the garage and let the rain take care of it.  :D

::)The bike slept under the stars last night.  I was so tired yesterday when I got home from galveston I peeled off a layer and fell asleep.  This morning, No Salt!!! Dried it off, and it's ready for another 500 miles.

Before I took off to Galveston, I used ICE wax to give it a fresh coat... As soon as I returned home, I had the Mr. Clean car wash out and gave her a nice bath...  I was really surprised of the lack of bug guts as well...   :)

Just got back from the car wash.  Tomorrow it'll get a going over with Honda spray cleaner, Mother's chrome polish, and Mothers Aluminum polish.

I bet there will be some places I cant see that will oxidize from the salty air & sea spray, but that's just too bad. :(

Oh, don't forget to spray a little WD-40 in & around the electrical stuff & switches like the starter switch & the light & turn signal switches. O0

Don't use WD-40 anyplace you have rubber seals. WD-40 is not kind to rubber. Use CRC or a good silicone spray if rubber is involved.

Don't leave it out until you wash it.  It's deer season; some buck might mistake it for a salt lick, or worse.
