It takes a good 30 mile ride to get the window clear on my bike at this time of year.
Water is a by product of the combustion of petrol and finds its way into the oil. Get the oil hot enough and it will evaporate. Dont get the oil hot enough and it turns into the mayo that you have seen and eventually does all sorts of damage to the inside of the engine. The solution is to only take the bike for long rides at this time of year and to change the oil more often. Dont run the bike for ten minutes every week like some poeple do during the winter.
