Before I was married I would pretty much get a ride in once per month. My KLR was already beat to hell so what was a little more rust. When I picked up my Super Ten, I knew I would need to treat it a little better. The first year I treated it with ACF-50 and that held up really well. Now I am a married man with a 2.5mo old so I only ride on nice days.^^I'm still waiting for more salt to wash away too. Maybe I'm just paranoid because I transferred here from ND where they don't use salt!
