Idle Banter For non SV and non bike related chat (and the odd bit of humour - but if any post isn't suitable it'll get deleted real quick).
There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too.

Default My bike is so filthy

Not really motivated by cleaning

I'm no Kwak I'm afraid

But even I despair of its present state

So I've organised a bike valet

There used to be a sort of unspoken competition amongst despatchers on GT550 Kawasakis, to see who could engender the biggest 'shark fin' of dirt on the upper left side of the swingarm.

Unless your bike is that sort of dirty it doesn't count.

PS. You have your manservant wash your bike - how posh is that!

I'm a bit of a Nazi with the cleanliness of my bike. Nothing but the best for it. It must be spotless.

I used to clean my bike once a week and then apply a layer of Wax too, recently I sprayed it with a good layer of ACF50 and have left it. Should she get any major soiling, like bits of Nun stuck in the radiator, then I might clean it, but for now she can stay dirty.
