Mine gets a wash about once a month to remove the half inch of dead flies on the front

Mine looked like Lozzo's last time I was away and I was riding on cleanish roads

My bike is for commuting, not for cleaning.
Haven't cleaned it since October.

However, at our motorcycle parking lot at work
(UCL) there's always a shiny big BMW. The
owner obviously cleans it thoroughly every day.
Unhealthy, methinks.

I used to spend hours cleaning my car when I was a teenager/20's but can't be asked now. If the 1997 Ka gets really dirty I pay this guy £5K but he wont do bikes!
