Tonight, for the first time in over a year I washed the bike.






That is all

blinkin' heck mate.. does it still work.. you know that the dirt was the only thing holding it together

But the real question is how long did it take you to clean your bike??

I'm shortly to start dismantling mine. Unclean since May

Dew is a wonderful thng for getting the grime off, just slips away

Rich.. there are cleaning products where all you have to do is gently hose the bike.. spray stuff on.. leave it for a while.. and spray off... if need be, use a sponge to get the more stuborn stuff off... and it bloody well works bought some of it on saturday.. and then some silicone cleaner to finish the job off (dont get it on tyres or brakes ) my bike is now a bit cleaner than normal.... the silicone cleaner also acts as a back to black stuff for your plastics as well... leaves a very good shine afterwards as well

What - you mean you can't get one of your students to do it for 50p and a packet of crisps?

It only takes a few minutes.... spray on, wait a bit and spray off....

I havent CLEANED my bike properly in a while now.. that usualy has about two days devoted to doing...

Don't think anything fell off, buy I was only doing it by garage light, so don't really know what the other side looks like!

As for the special occasion, no not selling it need to replace the chain as its properly worn . So to make things a little easier I decided to give it a little clean. Actually forgot that I have silver wheels

Only took me half an hour, used spray paraffin to start with to remove the inch thick crud from the swing arm, wheels and hugger. Followed by lots of buckets of water, some spray on gunk, more water, more gunk, then a little more water.

Its all sparkly now
