I reckon my bike is a lucky bike.

It gets ridden daily no matter what the weather.

It gets cleaned whatever the weather, even today in the p*ssing down, freezing cold rain.

If it is dry it also gets waxed (two coats) weekly.

It gets a chain clean and lube once a week.

It only drinks BP Ultimate or Shell Optimax.

Wish I was pampered that much.

I honestly don't think you wish you were ridden daily, waxed twice a week, lubed once a week and were fed on BP Ultimate.

i guess it depends if you're being ridden by a 6ft 15st man in leather, or a stunning blonde!

Nah, it loves the abuse.

My bike gets wshed when I feel like it, but these cleaning sessions take up to two days

It gets ridden when I feel like it, this can be a 5 miles trip or a few hundred miles at a time

It gets waxed when it gets cleaned, regardless

It has a Scottoiler because I cba to clean and lube the chain weekly

It gets fresh oil and filter every 1500 miles regardless

It's not pampered because bikes are built to take a level of abuse and neglect way beyond what mine gets, and life's too short to spend huge amounts of time unneccesarily cleaning, polishing and pampering a hunk of metal plastic and rubber when there are 4 kids in your life who need you more than it does.

mine gets ridden when i feel like it washed and polished often and drinks whatever's closest and cheapest maintenance is all taken care of by myself often.

mine gets ridden every day 50 mile round trip.
i use to use the cheapist petry i could get. (winter here using super unleaded)
i havent washed it in 2-3 months pmsl
chain i did oiled the weekend but needs cleaning soon.
just done the first oil change since i have had the bike, and thats after dooing 5k miles on it. cant be doing oil change every 1.5k that would be every month for me.

I took mine ice skating the other week. Didn't like it, its okay though, Tesco's have informed us our tickets will be free and they will pay the hospital bills.
