When is it gonna happen? I personally can't wait!! Haven't been out in the SLK now for bout 5 weeks - only 700 miles on it since November [V] Evidently, in my particular part of the poor impoverished North East, Darlington & Durham councils are using a new type of road salt with a special additive (acording to MCN (Motor Cycle News)). This does not wash away as quickly as regular salt, so you don't need as much of it. Only problem is that the guys who spread it use the same amount as normal salt. You end up with a slimy/greasy layer of black gunge on the road (and over/under your wheels). Today I took my Ducati out for a 50 mile blast, so tomorrow, I'm gonna have to spend all morning washing and polishing it.
