You'll get over it.

Ride it more, Clean it less. Enjoy life more.

Quick someone write to MCN! I can see the article now:

"We got the cleanest bike in the country dirty, just to see how long it takes to clean a bike properly. We're still waiting for the poor chap to finish...."

You should give your bike to someone who'll ride it.

Kwak, I almost misread your post and thought you threw your bike down the road in the rain and it'll take weeks to fix!

I wouldn't worry about it, your bike will still be cleaner than 99.99%* of the bikes here.

*0.01% will be the brand new bikes people haven't received from their dealer.
