For those who know me, this may be a surprise
 

I have cleaned the BlackBird.

Yep, that's it.


Took the fairings off and gave it a good degreasing and put it back together.

Went over the lot with rubbing compound, then polish and then wax. There's only so far you can polish a turd but it looks much better than it did.

The forks need doing and the brakes need a good seeing to but that's for another day

Holy Crap!!!

Stretchie, are you feeling ok????

Well you have to do it every now and then - usually before an MOT in my case - makes them look less abused ;-)

Looks pretty tidy that.

U selling it?

you lie you just swapped the plates onto a clean b-bird

Not selling this one. It's a keeper, and yes I have actually cleaned it.

Took FOREVER, the pictures make it look better than it is, it's a home paint job from the previous owner and it's bubbling and cracked and full of chips on the paint but from a distance it does look quite nice
