    the Grit comes from the grit mine, i think it is in Yorkshire, shallow open mine that is an old sea bed,it is dug out and goes straight on the road, all brown, mucky and highly concentrate. Years worth left yet.
    dont know about you, but this time of the year you can taste it and feel it in your eyes, like after swimming in the sea YUK.

    don't put ACF50 on your chain it will eat the O-rings, all the grease will fall out and your chain will fail in days. Don't ask how I know
    2001 Transalp XLV650. Faithful old friend still chugging away nearly 100,00miles
    2007 Varadero XLV1000. Now you're torquing but sadly gone to another forum member. One of the best bikes - period.
    Yamaha XT660r - slowly getting it ready for some big adventures
