Get some ACF-50, spray the **** out of your entire bike (except brake rotors and calipers) and ride worry free! I did it for years and never a speck of corrosion on anything. A simple cold water rinse and good to go.

78* and clear sunny skies here today and I did get some seat time.
No salt on Florida roads but today was Margarita day so I did see some.

Wouldn’t even think about going out with salt. Never enters my mind. Supposed to be 51 here in Pa. Wednesday. Bikes are safely stored

I took the bike out yesterday for the first time this year! It hit the low 50's here, the road was dry but I still had to watch for the gravel/grit that they use on the road. With the med's I'm on I just can't stand the cold like I used to.

DITTO, It was Very Tempted to cruise today, 65 degrees clear skies here, 50 miles to lake Tahoe-Truckee that was 40 degrees.
I worked up on Donner Summit at Caltrans DOT as a Equipment Operator, I know all the Rock Salt and brine I put on Interstate 80 up there.
No way would I take my ride up there till May, if there is no snow run off, and/or the street sweepers Sweep the salt off.

I normally have my biked out in winter here In Minnesota. Yea I like my bikes shiney. Every winter I clean them. Then it hits 35 degree and my gravel road is cleanish I’m hammered down and smiling. I stopped worrying about having a constantly clean bike and enjoy the ride. Especially in winter! But not this winter. Surgeries on both shoulders so I just get to stair at them but hey they are staying clean
