Filthy weather means a filthy bike

At leadt the chain is in perfect condition.

Freshly painted rims. In October.

It'll polish up a treat.

Same here Mickey; car's in for work so using the bike (to do a lousy 3 miles each way  :rolleyes ). Filthy, but ACF'd underneath, so I guess it'll be fine. Also finding after just a 2 month lay-off from riding that covering mileage on the bike again is leaving my back and shoulders aching (after any longer rides, eg, over 100 miles, not just 3!)- only answer: keep riding til I'm used to it again!

My last one I rode everywhere, commute, weekend rides etc, and it sat outside in all weather, not ACF'd, but I still managed to keep it in pretty good nick with regular cleaning - I did use a bit of WD then too.

Oh well. On the positive side, at least we know you don't suffer with OCD.
Yamaha Fazer 'the only bike you'll ever need' maybe ???
