I refuse to allow my bike to get dirty! However after a 300km run at the weekend there a few bits of chain lube off other bikes that flew at her and so she will receive aserious dose of pampering before the weekend!

Mine's always filthy, I hate cleaning it. If your bike ain't dirty you're not a proper biker.

I agree with that...too busy riding to wash it. Black hides the dirt nicely

Except in winter. Wash down after every ride.

Mine's due a bath I think... This weekend or next most likely. I'd like to have my bellypan ready to fit before I clean the engine though.
