Get on the freeway and all of a sudden my windshield gets sprayed with something grey from in front! I change lanes and pass by to find out it’s a truck hauling some big concrete pipe that has water spraying on the concrete which of course is spraying cement water on anything behind it! And now the bike is just covered with this stuff, so madder than you know what I race the rest of the way to work – get a hose and start to gently try and rinse this stuff off. Most of it does rinse off pretty well so with a very wet rag I’m gently wiping all the surfaces to get it all off. Call my wife and have her bring me the mcguires stuff and then re-do everything with that so it’s all real clean. Except for a very large scratch in my windshield which must have been a real small chip stuck in the goo. AND now there are water spots on my new inner paint that I'll have to try and buff out. GRRRRRR Can you believe it? My very first ride too! Be careful kids, it's not not safe out there..... _____________________________ 06 EGC: 103", SE air/slip ons, Chubby 575''s, Draggin''Baggers, RJ''s, Hogtunes w/amp + Polk tweeters, Zumo 550, painted inner http://www.wholearmor.net/HD/RH06EGC.htm Post #: 1 RE: watch out for concrete spray! - 5/15/2008 2:22:37 PM    Hoffy Posts: 386 Joined: 9/22/2007 From: Mountains of N. Calif Status: offline Sounds like the cement guy needed a handfull of BB's to the front end.  Or at least take a picture or memorize his plate for insurance purposes, or if he was in a work truck even better, contact his employer,  or just wait for his dumb ass to pull over somwhere.  Sorry, just venting, this kind of crap from people really pisses me off.  Glad your bike made out ok. _____________________________ Every day is a holiday, every meal is a feast! 08 Black Pearl S/G SE Pro-tuner SE AC Rush 2" Hog Tunes (in reply to RonH) Post #: 2 RE: watch out for concrete spray! - 5/15/2008 2:23:19 PM    maxflhx Posts: 154 Joined: 12/21/2007 From: Port Orchard, WA Status: offline  That SUCKS!
