[AT] Semi OT - spray lube

[Stephen Offiler]

That's the beauty of the quality name-brand motorcycle chain lube (Bel Ray)
that I use.  It is specifically formulated to NOT be a dirt magnet, for
reasons I hope are obvious.  However, I've also got a cheaper lube marketed
as motorcycle chain lube, some no-name brand from an auto parts store.  I
bought that one for the drive chain on my snowblower, and therefore really
don't care much about dirt. That one is pretty much just rebranded white
grease.

SO
