If you were the driver of an Eldis Compass on the A68 south today at 11.45, thanks for driving with you grey waste open, I was stuck behind you on my motorbike and had to put up with the spray until I got past you, the title says it all

Lucky you never slipped on it. Some people are just thoughtless.

I was following an Eldis earlier today who seemed to be losing a good percentage of his fresh water as he went around right hand corners.

Annoying ain't the word.
Wilding last night and one guy blatantly opened his grey valve letting it run down the street into a vent.
Knocked on the door and read him the riot act and told him to close it and not to be such a lazy bastard.
No wonder when we wild responsibly there is always one who wrecks it for everyone else.
He packed up and pissed off in a bad mood..... too bad.

I'd put his reg number up, but I was on my motorcyle so couldn't write it down and I can't remember anything since my stroke last year

Must have been a big waste tank because mine is empty after about two minutes and empty tanks don't spray water out when they are empty, Wasn't it a short time ago the government wanted you to share baths and put the water on the garden to keep it moist? Mine has water which is slightly soapy and minimum residue in it perhaps the one being followed had BR train type toilets on board then you could complain. they must have just pulled out or very slow leakoff.

He might also have been completely unaware it was open. A joker might have done it for a laugh when he was parked in say some services for example or it may have just been absentmindedness (if that's a word).

Me ? Over the years I have had fish and chips thrown out of a window and all over the front of me and the bike, regularly sprayed with window washers, chewing gum on my visor, even had sick when a child stuck his head out of a window, a half bottle of coke ( or there abouts) poured away out of a window... I have had slurry from cattle trucks cover me and the bike, dog poop flick up and on to the zorst down pipes, and the toilet contents of a coach hit me.

Anyone wanna open a grey waste tap in front of me, you carry on.. I have absolutely NO problem with soapy, tea smelling waste water what so ever..

But then, I clean the bike maybe once a year.. Dont do prissy and really aint worried about grey..

I am also fascinated by the amount of grey water the van in question was carrying.. unless perchance he had emptied it correctly and there was maybe a few dregs in the bottom ?

Mark, if you ride a Zuk or a hardley Moving I would indeed be worried mate.. Those things can rot away before you get home.. But anything else and I would not be too concerned ! ;)(y);)(y)

Your wing looks awfully clean for a bike that's only cleaned once a year, I was on a BMW GT, don't road ride that much as I race on short circuits, it's much safer

Could not agree more re road racing.. No stupid furniture to hit when you slid off ..

I must apologise to anyone who was affected by us on our first few days out a couple of years ago in the Cotswolds.. I had problems emptying the grey water tanks at the dumping point, nothing came out!
Called at a MH seller site on way home asking them to check it out, only to find it was open all the time. Each time I went to the waste dump, I was closing the valve!!! This was how we picked up the MH from the dealer.
