Halo Smart Protect is a unique treatment system developed and supplied by All Year Biker.
We all know winter road salt is a killer for bikes, but here are a few things you might not be aware of: During the rest of the year environmental fall-out, sea spray and even animal waste can cause corrosion. In certain conditions animal waste on the roads can be up to 3 times more corrosive than road salt. Washing alone will not prevent corrosion, in fact trapped cleaning water can often start the process. Corrosion rarely ‘starts’ where you can see it but once established it can spread alarmingly fast.
There is now a Lincolnshire based Operative so you can have your bike treated without having to travel miles. Trevor Bridgwood (Riders Branch Member) is based just outside Lincoln and covers LN, DN and some NG postcodes. If you are interested in getting your bike protected, then give me a call.
