    Already tried it Sandi and it works great, even just above freezing temperatures. Gives a powerful, adjustable spray from a fine atomised mist to a single jet.
    Wet Winter riding in the UK, as in some US states, means the bike gets filthy very quickly with salt laden crud so you just have to keep on top of regular cleaning. Even in dry weather the bike gets covered in dry white salt dust.

    I've been trying this stuff and I'm very pleased with it. Works out at £1/L so is much cheaper than buying in smaller bottles. As most bike owners will know, the main ingredient in a good wash is elbow grease, you just have to put the time in!:)

    @Sandi T True it is i think. I purchased it as being lower i can step over it easier till i find out about my right hip. Apparently Harley they had a bearing failure in the primary drive and a nut that came loose. Apparently Harley did a fix for them whether that still stands or not i don't know. What also surprises me is someone buys a Super Glide then tries to make it a Wide Glide doesn't make sense to me.. So if i don't get any other bikes does that mean i have to become a farmer.

    @Sandi T I may lose my newly acquired farm. As while at the dealers today I spotted a real nice Harley Sportster custom and threw the question if they might do a trade for my Super Glide. They are thinking about it. But Tracy wants me to keep the Super Glide as she likes it. And as she paid half of it I am very torn.

    Tracy, the poor man clearly needs both Harleys and could probably do with a Speed Triple 1050 RS as well (did I mention I have one for sale?). You know it will be good for his mental wellbeing :D

    @TRIPLE X Tracy said you are to stop encouraging me as I don't need it. But the answer is still no to either bike. next month your RS will fly out the door when peeps start getting ready for spring.

    Wow, Joe! You are becoming like a friend of ours who seems to go through a bike a year, maybe faster. :joy: Perhaps there's a Guiness Book of World Records for something like that! ;) What do you like better about the Sporty that would make you consider trading your Super Glide for it?

    @Sandi T Yes you are probably right. But the Sportster is out now would be nice like @TRIPLE X Said have all of them. But that's not happening. Yes I do have an obsession for bikes. That's I think down to my Dad he had a partnership in a bike shop and builder when I was a kid. He used to give us any old bike not worth his time fixing or selling to use on the farms were we worked. I just love bikes and freedom they give me and the as one springs to mind. Man and machine. I don't think I can change. But I am now listening to my Darling Tracy. She has said I need a bike to work at to take up my time when idle so will endeavour to find a fixer / upper. Does that also mean I lose my farm.

    No, you don't lose your farm, Joe. At least not yet! And Tracy is a wise woman...a bike project is a good thing and good for a man's soul (or so I've heard). ;) Any thoughts on what fixer upper might interest you?
