Oh my god my poor bike!
 

I had to ride through several big puddles and now it's all dirty :smt085

That is all. :D

Re: Oh my god my poor bike!
 

i really feel for you i really do.:)

Re: Oh my god my poor bike!
 

I blame the Government!

I am annoyed that a few scratches have appeared on my bike since I got it!

Re: Oh my god my poor bike!
 

I know how you feel. I not only rode through puddles today, I also had to ride through actual rain (for the first time ever!) :smt021

Re: Oh my god my poor bike!
 

Today I rode through rain so heavy I had to stop and adjust the preload!! :smt103

Re: Oh my god my poor bike!
 

Lol :D I don't actually mind riding in rain, but I've been going all kwak on my bike since I got it so now I've got to clean the damn thing! And I dread to think how much I'm going to have to clean to get rid of all the crap the big waves of water put all over my bike :( in all the nooks and crannies, etc :smt021

Re: Oh my god my poor bike!
 

Hehe, pansies! Starts to get fun again once it gets to monsoon levels, you're already completely wet and it's a complete lottery if you can keep rubber side down :p

Worst I got was having to slow to 10mph on a motorway because waves were getting up over my boots. Was sunny when I left as well so I had leathers on...ended up with dye running into everything I had underneath. And I had my PS2 in the tankbag as well. Won't play DVDs anymore :(

Re: Oh my god my poor bike!
 

if you keep your bike in a good clean condition, when they get a soaking they come up clean again in no time:) it always pi$$es me off when i get caught in bad weather but a few hours later she's back to normal.:)

Re: Oh my god my poor bike!
 

You need help. Failing that, come and clean mine on saturday!

Re: Oh my god my poor bike!
 

I've just been out on a blast to oxford, the twisty way and the bike looks pretty filthy :( ....thats tomorrow morning accounted for then!

Re: Oh my god my poor bike!
 

OOH Bugger! Won't Play DVD's anymore. There is a good parts forum on the t'internet, Can't thin of the darn name right now. Let me know if you need it though and I'll trawl through my emails on Hotmail. Here it is, Google is king eh.
www.pstation.co.uk You should be able to find some help with your PS2 there and also parts prices etc.
As for getting leather dye out of your undercrackers I'll have to speak to my wife about that one!
:cool:

Re: Oh my god my poor bike!
 

Thing is, I don't have a garage! So it's not so easy to clean any time. But I do clean it first chance I get...

Btw what do you use to clean fiddly bits? E.g. rear shock? I can get my hand/sponge in there to clean off the dirt (I don't go as far as polishing it I'm afraid!) but I can only get to certain bits of course (luckily I can get to all the visible bits). I definitely think I'm turning into you! :p Hey I do put the miles on though, I think it's got 2600 now (picked it up April 20th or something like that).

Gaffa tape a toothbrush on the end of a stick. Sorted.

Re: Oh my god my poor bike!
 

i like your thinking:)

Re: Oh my god my poor bike!
 

I use one of those green stringy mittens - You get into more places than a cloth or sponge and dont rip your hands open.

I think Poundstretcher sell some white ones.

Re: Oh my god my poor bike!
 

Oh come on just power wash it lube the chain and ride it!! If you worry about the weather it will stay in the garage:rolleyes:

Re: Oh my god my poor bike!
 

kids in bed wife gone out ITS TIME TO CLEAN:smt074 :smt074

Re: Oh my god my poor bike!
 

When I ride through puddles, the road gets dirtier :cool:

Re: Oh my god my poor bike!
 

ah the joys of a good wash!

Re: Oh my god my poor bike!
 

I don't worry about the weather I worry about my bike getting dirty ;)

Re: Oh my god my poor bike!
 

Don't worry, park next to me on Sunday and your bike will look sparkling :)

Re: Oh my god my poor bike!
 

I plan on giving it a clean after i get back from Aylesbury tomorrow. That said i planned on cleaning it this morning but that never happened!

Plus i reckon Nick is a "clean freak" and we cant have a Honda looking nicer than a Yamaha.

Re: Oh my god my poor bike!
 

Pah, it rained and i got caught in it, I just left the thing in the garage

Leaking oil anyway
