Should I wash the bike? Take some time and give Helga a good scrub, or just leave as protection for next winter.

Leave it as protection, corrosion still happens in summer.

Give it a wash, it will thank you for it.

Although I hadnt washed mine for a cuople of weeks until the weekend.

The nearly 200 od miles I did on saturday forced me to, the amount of flies on the front meant I should have probably only been riding at night lol

1) Why waste time. It'll get dirty again.

2) I'd get the bikini clad ladies to wash you instead.

3) But then 1 applies again.
