Default There was a disturbance in the Force last night.

I did a terrible thing to my bike last night, and Jambo may have felt the disturbance in the force.
I washed it...
Some of it was clean...
Some of it was rather hard to shift and is still there...
I got bored quickly...

But I only did it to cover it in ACF50, so I don't need to touch it again for a year, so all is good again.

Lol, on a more serious side, after a bit of a clean the bike doesn't look to bad. So should be good for the summer rebuild.

I was drawn to this thread...

Cleaning's not a bad idea, the bike definitely looks better if you do, it's just that it's not something I always manage.

Cleaning is boring though...I cleaned mine yesterday, then went out for an hour and it was all dirty again - time wasted methinks!

Annoyed me the other week also. I cleaned it, then the next day I rode it in the rain and oh...it looked worse than it started by a long way!

I don't let it get too messy but I don't know how some people can be bothered to clean a bike after every ride!
