Crappy Finish

Have to say disappointed with the finish on my 15 Roadster. Not really an all weather rider nowadays. 

Wheels are corroded and look like shit and the chrome bits and bobs all surface rusted.

Have always washed down after a salty road outing.

The TEX I had before had its recall problems but the finish far more robust.

Never had these problems so soon even on a modern Suzuki!

It doesn't seem like the wheels are coated, just bare metal by th level of corrosion. 

The surface rust blights the suspension caps and even the chrome cover for the rear brake master cylinder looks more like rust with some chrome.

At least the engine finish looks good.

    Wow, that is not good. Someone was cheaping out in the paint and chrome department when it was built perhaps.

So when "real life" gets in the way, then the bike trips have to take a back seat.  Don't get me wrong.  I like going out in the car with wife and dog to places of interest or just to the White Cliffs for a cake and coffee and walk with Reggie. But. Sometimes I want to get my gear on and go for a ride. Last Sunday the "Family Paul" won out.  Hopefully tomorrow, June 6th and of course the 77th Anniversary D-Day, I can get out and do the trip around the county and get the "Cup of Tea Challenge" chalked off. I need to ride the £15000 wo
