For those who know me, this may be a surprise
I have cleaned the BlackBird.
Yep, that's it. Took the fairings off and gave it a good degreasing and put it back together. Went over the lot with rubbing compound, then polish and then wax. There's only so far you can polish a turd but it looks much better than it did.    The forks need doing and the brakes need a good seeing to but that's for another day

Well you have to do it every now and then - usually before an MOT in my case - makes them look less abused
 Looks pretty tidy that. |

Re: For those who know me, this may be a surprise
Not selling this one. It's a keeper, and yes I have actually cleaned it.
Took FOREVER, the pictures make it look better than it is, it's a home paint job from the previous owner and it's bubbling and cracked and full of chips on the paint but from a distance it does look quite nice
