I do a similar amount of riding in a northern state, and my bikes there never build up this kind of exhaust crud.

I am not disagreeing or being at all insincere in this, but just from my own observations on this: could the extraordinary number of lawn service trucks, and trailers, etc. in the villages with trucks that just gush out totally disgusting, black clouds of smoke constantly, also add to this "exhaust crud" ? I about chocked to death just waiting in the line from 466 to get through the gate to to get to Pimlico rec center. Never lived in any community, even in some wealthy areas, where so many people had lawn and landscape workers, and every day of the week ? Even on Sundays ? I always assumed most communities were like those where we have lived in different places, yard workers can only work in the development on certain days, we lived in one where on on T. and Th., but whatever, it does seem there is more black smoke coming out of old trucks than any place we've lived.... perhaps there is no truck inspection required here too ? Just one possible reason.
