Trashed Screen.
Not washed bike since Jerez so had to get all the stickers off the screen.
Used petrol as usual and left a funny residue. So used thinners. Nope.
Finally washing up liquid to get the gunge off.
Now it's fucked. Dull and lots of scratches and a few tiny cracks. WTF
Needs a new one. Not even I can go out with that on

Re: Trashed Screen.
The cracks don't look good, bin it. You don't want it disintegrating while you're riding fast.

Re: Trashed Screen.
A bike without screen is like a car without a windscreen.
Remember that next time you're riding in cold and rain

Re: Trashed Screen.
Riding in what?
Are you suggesting using a motorcycle as transport?

It's a message - Don't put a wanky screen on your bike; leave it clear, as the good lord Suzuki intended.
