Display MoreFirst try this after your next ride. Grab a nice white washcloth and just scrub your face, neck and arms. Every time I do this even only after an hour ride and there is significant black dirt on the cloth. Now before you wash up smell your arms between your hand and elbow. It's also on your clothes. That smell is road dirt. Like smokers smell but you can tell you just rode.
If you can't smell anything you might have an issue with your sense of smell.
Now for people that have asthma or other breathing problems or people that might not want these breathing problems this is useful information. Not every SS/bike owner has a death wish. Also people with breathing problems might not associate road dirt with there current condition. Many people with lung cancer will say how can I because I never smoked. Motorcycle riding, bicycle riding, walking and jogging usually take place on roadways with traffic passing close by spewing toxic emissions. excercising to stay healthy in an unhealthy environment.
News flash nobody's getting sued that was a joke. The heavy metals contained in the road dirt are very harmful to our bodies. In my former work environment there were many heavy metals present in the air. My blood was tested every 6 months for lead exposure. If we had high readings we had to change job areas.
High lead levels and other heavy metals could cause people to write forum threads that normal people would consider usless and silly.
You gotta be shitting me with this bullshit!
