You should see it with a flat tire, busted panels, and my 250 pound ass on it!

 

^^ lol.

I have not been seeing many bikes on the road lately...

The first day of spring they were EVERYWHERE! Now, gone.

 

It's been regular rain in these parts, and don't like cleaning and lubing after every ride so I've been rolling around in my boat of an SUV

 

Rain has been pretty sporadic up here, I still ride everyday though.

What lube are you using? I used to use DuPont Chainsaver, but switched to Pro Honda.

It has Moly and Teflon (PTFE) just like Chainsaver but it's cheaper. It doesn't attract much dirt and sticks to the chain even in the rain.

 

Using Yamalube On-Road chain lube (Oil based "white graphite"), RK Chain warranty card suggests cleaning/lubing every 400 miles or every time the bike is ridden in the rain.

Their off-road variant is the moly and teflon

 

They are probably basing that on the assumption that you are using oil to lube your chain. Oil disperses in rain, Teflon doesn't, it sticks. No rust, no dust.

 

I'm thinking of switching back to the DuPont spray though, the Moly in the Honda Lube is a bit stickier and attracts more crap.

What's in the Yamalube?

What the hell, conked out drunk or what? how do you just glide into oncoming traffic like that?

Per the product description.

 

I don't like oil-based stuff, too sticky... sand and dirt sticks to sticky.
