Sounds like a scrub down with the yard broom might be needed.I can imagine a fly on the wall in his cab: "ooh, ooh, here comes another daft biker, speed up, speed up"
Bike gets washed at the end of winter, it was drowned in ACF50 at the start of winter.
Me, I have a shower once a month, whether I need it or not.

A while back in Norfolk (early 70's?) big rains and floods. Local farmer comes up the drive and say 'ya gort a boot?' or something. Well we had a 12ft racing dinghy in the driveway.
Upshot, we trailed it down to a field were his flock were swimming all over as the floods had swamped it, strong current. Managed to save 22.. Roll the boat over towards the sheep, grab it and throw our weight back to pull it over the side deck. Managed two a time. The Ram was a real bu**er... all of them had full fleece, water logged.
The last was in a wood, weired going through the branches at normal head height. The poor animal had only its eyes and nostrils above water and a forest of creepy crawlies on the 'high ground..' Got it aboard and went home. I think he only lost a half dozen.
Heared nothing from him after. Somewhat notorious for being difficult and anti-social.
Then, I got back from work just before Xmas and there was a goose on the step. 2+2... it was a thank you.
Bit later wanted some sheep to mow the grass. Went to see him and got two runtish lambs. They florished on our good grass and one went back to him, the other in the freezer. Repeat, for several years

A few years ago a local drug dealer hid a large amount of cocaine in a ditch and a guy out cutting the ditch ran over it

Motorway banks are the worst, you will find engines on subframes, bumpers,car seats and all sorts of remnants from bad RTA`s in the undergrowth. Nobody cleans up the oddsnsods left roadside.

Just checked the local BBC weather forecast for the coming week. Tuesday's is 12 degrees - that's plus not minus.
Freezing fog ATM, but the Sun's trying to get his hat on....

Did it have a hole drilled in the block?Does finding a BMW engine in a drainage ditch in the depths of Somerset come close?
Would have expected it to be burnt out as well if there was.
Not yet at that level of intelligence to hide their trail.

The stuff we come across stolen/dumped in the woods is insane.These two vans were on our stacking area, they were stolen, stripped and burnt out over a weekend. These were a good mile off the main road, had to run them down to a specialist breakers.
