Spent last 3 hours cleaning crap off bike since spring, so that I can recover in ACF50 , even gave the old girl an oil & filter change
Next clean time spring 09 . Can't see the fun in cleaning bikes .... Cheers Steveg

It's not fun, but it's strangely addictive!

Re: I hate cleaning bikes !
meh, the muckier the bike the harder they are to clean!
keep your bike clean all the time and it turns into a polishing fetish

Re: I hate cleaning bikes !
Yeah, I don't go crazy I just like to keep on top of it before it ever gets too bad. Doesn't take long anyway does it, not exactly a large surface area to cover.

Re: I hate cleaning bikes !
However, I must be ill, as I haven't been keeping up with DAves shinyness, since he got battered, the downpipes embarassingly bronze(still shiny but not to my standard)...must pull my finger out and do it properly before it goes that crusty point of no return!
