Default Cleaning bikes

To properly clean them does take persistence. Especially when they're covered in 3 months of winter road grime. 2 hours later and i am done . Shes all sparkly and doused in acf-50, bring on the good weather?!

I even scrubbed the shock. What an afternoon

I'm too lazy.

If I clean it I feel bad about riding it.

I need to clean my rear shock. Always forget, but it's well hard to get in there anyway. It did have ACF50 sprayed at it liberally from a distance though.

Never heard of sdoc until now. Just looked it up. Sounds like good stuff, even if it does rape the bank balance.
