Well?
proper filthy! Rode to Bristol & back yesterday, 350 miles in total, it's barely recognisable. Gonna spend some quality time with the bike and a large bucket of Muc Off!

I refuse to allow my bike to get dirty! However after a 300km run at the weekend there a few bits of chain lube off other bikes that flew at her and so she will receive aserious dose of pampering before the weekend! :wink:
Mine's always filthy, I hate cleaning it. If your bike ain't dirty you're not a proper biker.

I agree with that...too busy riding to wash it. Black hides the dirt nicely
Except in winter. Wash down after every ride.

Mine's due a bath I think... This weekend or next most likely. I'd like to have my bellypan ready to fit before I clean the engine though.
Mine was spotless before the camber rideout and a trip into london today. Now covered in road salt filth! :evil:

am feeling the same way.... re gritting on the M25 means its gotta be done or rusty bits to follow. And i thought it was snow hitting me at first.

I like to think that my bike is Spotless. But I use it everyday and it get dirty very quickly. I wash it nearly every weekend.

It's usually filthy, but it's particularly bad right now.
Riding to work yesterday morning I was stuck behind a huge truck throwing up so much muck it was like a bottle of used engine oil had blown up in my face :shock: Wiping the visor just spread this black water over my visor. Interesting.
Anyway, my bike is now so filthy after this, the lights were struggling to light up the road on the way home :lol:

Kind of shiny but thats due to the fact I give it a quick once over with the pressure washer (with the nozzle set quite wide so it isn't that harsh) every day before it gets tucked up for the evening.
Clean today, but only because i wanted to coat it in ACF-50 anti corrosion gunk. Now thats on I won't be washing it again until it gets warmer, cept maybe the headlights. Dirty bike = dirty number plate = speed camera proof :)
