Cleaner required

Now i've never been keen on winter maintenance, Fizz does most of the stuff with my bike. In fact i haven't used the bike since about October, apart from 2 days in December just so i don't have to look after it.. Imagine my suprise when i opened the garage this morning to find this. It appears i may have let it get into a bit of a state

i certainly hope your not planning on selling it as ''never been out in the wet''

I did use it all year round for the first three years so it was never gonna look mint. It's just this year i couldn't be bothered to ride it.

Ouch.... how are you going to fix that?

Poor bike. This is why it's better to keep on top of things. It'll take a fair bit of work to get that back to clean and usable, not to mention you may end up needing to replace things like nuts/bolts/chain. I'm surprised the wheels went round.

Take one rag, one bottle of paraffin and one Fizz and it'll be sorted in no time.

leave it with me for a week and i'll have it looking like new. a little tlc me thinks.

You want to inspect it int he flesh before yuo make an offer like that

It'll take alot of time and money to make that bike look mint again trust me.

Chain is almost presentable now. Took 30 minutes of scrubbing with parafin and a toothbrush. Its been relubed again and TBH the whole bike doesnt look so bad now its had a wash. I need to check the chain for tight spots though...

All we need to do now is to work out why its not running on both cylinders properly.... fresh tank of fuel and plugs out and clean and take it from there me thinks..

Bikes done nearly 38K so its never going to look mint now...

kwak passes out bump!
