I hadn't thought of the bio-security angle, good point.
One of the things that appeals to me is that at this time of year it's dark by the time I get home from riding, it's cold and I really don't want to wash the bike, so it tends to get put away dirty, which means it gets ridden that way the next time I go out.
Washing it down before it goes on the roof rack however is quick and easy, and if it's not raining the passage of air over the bike on the way home dries it off nicely. Also means you don't cover yourself in mud when you get home.
