Rust where? There’s not exactly bare metal anywhere on a motorcycle that would rust in a days exposure before it’s moved back inside and would dry out naturally again.
Winter storage nightmare

It builds up. Inside the heads of allen bolts is common. A drop of water in there has real trouble drying out. Non-anodized aluminum gets crusty with repeated exposure, etc. Doesn't bother me as I buy them to ride them but some people want everything perfect.
I generally agree with what PrivatePilot and GreyGhost are saying about rust, but just saying that I learned that not all bikes are built the same when I saw my GS500 rust practically in real time
LOL, I had one of those, and the statement above is true.
I normally respect your bike choices. Why a GS500? I have no desire to own one ever.
My first bike.
I owned one briefly because the utilitarian simplicity of it always appealed to me. Unfortunately, it wasn't that much fun to ride (though fixing the factory jetting may have made a difference there)
The dealer I am talking about pushes bikes out in the winter as well. Whether these are bikes that are in for service I don't know but it seems like a lot of Bikes. Personally I keep my bikes pristine and always stored inside. If I do ride in the rain (which is inevitable) I always dry it off when I get home.
Who are the morons who pay to have their bikes in storage for Summer? LOL
Out of curiosity what is your drying method? Cloth? Blower?
