Went out for a blip around Lancashire with my brother yesterday. Second time on his new to him blade, as it had spent all this week in the workshop being service, new brakes/back tyre.

As the chain looked a tad dry, I asked him what lube he was using and he told me the guy at a certain shop in Preston had recommended a Motul lube and produced the can from under his seat. He said he was going to spray it on after our little ride as the guy in the shop had recommended he cleaned his chain first with PETROL

No, he was adamant petrol. Having explained all the damage that petrol would do to his seals and the inner lubrication he conceeds crafty gits were after his wallet as they know he aint going to compromise his safety and would have had the bike in the shop next week for a new chain fitting. Them saying we said parafin sir.
