And that's neglect in my books !
Really?
In the south, why should you need to wash it down after every commute, when we rarely have salted roads.
The bikes should be up to a wet ride without corrosion being an issue.

That if exposed to road salt, and parked up without cleaning it off, it will corrode.
My car hasn't corroded since 2016
OK, let me re-phase that. Bits that are visible on cars do not readily corrode if you don't wash them down after every use where salt maybe on the road.
None of my cars over the past 30 years or so have had corroded body panels, despite only two having done less than 100k miles.

That's special treatment in my books. I commute on my bike and it goes straight in the garage with an occasional hose off at work and maybe a wash once a month.
Tell me how you rinse a bike down when its - 3c the hose is frozen solid and forcast is for days of freezing temps ,easy when you have just got back from a Sunday bimble to starbucks,not so easy when you commute every day leaving at 06.30 and getting home frozen at 19.00hrs.Heroes ?
Not heros, just normal people that carry out necessary post riding maintenance, or normal people that don't moan about corrosion when said maintenance isn't carried out ?
Heroes......
