I don't have a bad weather bike as such. The R80ST and the V Strom will just have to get dirty if I decide to go out. My usual response is to clean the key bit (chain on the V Strom and lube it, nothing on the ST) then wait until I can be bothered to clean it. Life is a long way from the Saturday morning cleaning rituals of old.

But, I wonder if any of you still keep the legendary winter hack - obviously, as a boxer rider mine would have been an MZ Supa 5!
