Check the exhaust for remnants of plastic bags.They stink like mad when you run into one and the burnt bits stay on the pipe for ages.

Ahhhhhhh. Yes. Good call Fizz. I have noticed this too.

Never put two and two together though.

Salt, mud.. anything that gets on the road and can fling onto your bike will smell once it heats up! Once your exhaust gets nice and hot, when its covered in mud.. has a very distinct smell to it!

Not trying to be thick, but, huh?
I mean, it does. But, what has this got to do with anything?
