Just gave mine a quick wash while I'm waiting for my mate before heading over to Castle Coombe 8-)
Bet it's filthy again later :D
When I got mine back from the dealer at the weekend I gave it another wash and polish out of guilt... then it sat in the garage for 2 days as the weather was so crap but this morning I rode it to work (in the sodding rain) and home again this evening. Needless to say, it's plastered in crap again and will stay like that at least until the weekend... which weekend I don't know though :o

With all this god awful weather my CBR1000F had been sat in the garage dirty for about a month and gave it a damn good clean Sunday just gone. I usually do the bike and car every weekend without fail but some days its just not possible. Love having my battle cruiser of a bike all shiny and clean. Although, when the various tooth brushes come out, then I do stop and think, am I being too maticulous :P
Me? NEVER!!!! Serious, my boyfriend feels sorry for them and cleans them, I will argue till death that dirt does not affect performance :D
dirt = weight which = drag which = slowness...listen to the Guru Mort, he knows his apples (bikes! ;D )
That's what Em tells me about the scooter..... :oQuote:

Dirt getting into moving parts will grind them away, especially chains, sprockets, lever pivots, swingarm/suspension linkage bearings. It will also retain moisture and promote corrosion.
At best a dirty bike will loose you money in excess repairs and depreciation, at worst you are putting your life at risk. And yes, I have seen bike that have serious faults or even bits missing that have been hidden by a bit of 'harmless' dirt (in actual fact, usually a massive wad of oily gunge).
No need to go over board and strip it down daily, just a going over it with some mild car shampoo and some decent wax once a month for an average mileage rider will be better than nothing. I definitely recommend using ACF-50 if you ride all year though.
Muc-Off clearly have some super invisible lady hand and nail protection as her hands and nails remain pristine without her wearing any gloves, and as for those heals...umm right standard wear whenever a lady cleans her bike ::) ;D ;DQuote:
