Grey waste

[HandyAndy]

Ahem... as long as it wasn't some old clapped out Burstner near Weymouth, it wasn't me...
*Sneaks out and checks the drain tap...

Eddie, I can tell you from experience soapy water will bring you off!! It is very slippy!

If anyone can manage to fall off on a streak of grey water they need to stay at home. Real hazards are animal excrement, roadkill, wet manhole covers, certain types of white lining, wet cattle grids, dry cattle grids, mud on country roads, mud from roadworks, a stream of water from a drain, and etc. But mainly other motorists. If you travel too slowly or tense up when a sudden hazard appears it's possible to lose control. If you let the bike do it's thing not much happens at all.

When we was kids all the cars leaked oil. All the car parking spaces at home had big black oil patches under the cars , imagine how much oil they must of dropped on the road compared to a bit of dish and shower water from a motorhome.

You don’t know the circumstances so I’d keep your Ill advised opinions to yourself!! And FYI I was highlighting the fact that it was slippy stuff (fact!) not the fact that every motorcyclist on the road who comes across it was going to come off!!

We all love a grey waste thread, almost as good as a toilet one. I expect I am not alone in having sometimes been an accidental grey waste dribbler. On one occassion my grey valve had frozen open and trickled for half a day till it warmed up enough to close it.

Should motorcycle tyres have M&S markings ?? Then we all can empty grey tank on the move ! ?

Why do I keep thinking about that orgy scene in "Emmanuelle does it in the Bath?"

I was pointing out that slippery stuff is a day-to-day hazard for any motorcyclist. Grey water as any sort of hazard to anything falls well below the bottom of any list. In the course of a days riding any one of the things I mention will appear half way round a bend with the bike well heeled over. Grey waste wouldn't ever figure on my list of things to worry about under such circumstances.

I agree with all that

, I’m not concerned over a bit of grey waste, I was just pointing out from Eddie Vanbitz post that soapy waster IS slippery!
When I hit it I wasn’t even on the road and in either first or second gear, but I’ve never hit the deck as hard, but as they say, that’s another story???

Forgot to say, as a newbie last year I left my tap open on a couple of occasions (total mistake of course??)

As a keen motorcyclist I ride to the conditions a bit of grey waste isn't going to hinder my
progress on an otherwise dry road.
Maybe one of Dave's other hobbies is fishing.

It happened to me in the bath

Why point it out to me? I didn't say that soapy water wasn't slippery.

I questioned why soapy water was greasy!

As a cyclist a biker and a motorhomer I raise my eyes at these threads.

Also my tank does drain completely when I empty it as I usually do leave the tap open and I've yet to see any water spill out when I'm driving and I DO check

There's also nothing greasy goes down my drains either ....I also have two pre washers employed
