Dirt will always be there,even on the street. The trick is that dirt doesnt stick to clean metal. By cleaning the chain then giving the dirt nothing to stick to you remove the constant grit eating away at the chain. The O-ring chains have lube inside I believe so as long as you leave the chain clean and dont eat away at the orings the lube in the chain's rollers keeps working. Jud is right that the data supports the WD40 track record.When you think it through it is easy to figure out why. Clean is your freind

Matt, Middle book value plus 1/2 the value of the parts--new. Could you send me a picture? My brother in/near Columbia, MO might be interested, etc. Thin of a price--let me know. What about the tires? Do you still have the take off items? ie, muffler, airfilter, seat. martin earl Highmore, SD
