I haven't cleaned anyhting on the bike except the headlights and mirrors over the last few weeks- so it's salty as helly anyway.

I did used ACF50 a while back, so should be fairly OK.

Now I've settled in and eaten and had a couple of glasses of wine....

WHAT A NIGHTMARE JOURNEY!!!

The fog on the A31 was terrible- about 25m visibility at best. very, very scary!

I had my heart in my mouth for the entire journey. I now wish I'd done the motorways- the traffic was minimal.

Stopped at the Shell station in Ropley to fill up and have a tinkle. There was a gixxer outside-belonging to one of the staff there- even he asked what I was doing out on the bike on such an awful night! Decent couple of lads there though- quick chat really cheered the journey up.

Did the trip in about 2 hours. The roads are fairly sound- just cold and wet. Bit of snow lining them (Blueto- as you said, the Cadnam roundabout was surrounded by snow- but not on the riding line itself), but not too bad. My only skitter was on a straight while leaving Four Marks (or thereabouts!)- something on the floor- excess grit or summink.

So- relieved to arrive in one piece, finally calmed down a bit and absolutely knackered!

Have a good evening folks- thanks for your help on this thread and have a lovely Christmas- though expect I'll have a look in some time tomorrow!

Many apologies. My mind is going. I can feel it.

And I'll let the pair of you discuss the rest between yourselves!

Very considerate- if a little late!!

I am now rather warm and am about to hole up in bed with a book and wait for sleep.
