6/1 ride

Cutty72 · 06-03-2008, 06:34 PM

If I kept my bike that shiny clean, I'd never have time to ride.
Being a DD and working 12 hour days... i'd rather ride.

Not saying it's filthy... but by no means could it roll onto a showfloor!

It literally takes me 5-10 minutes to wipe it down with a quick detailer and a real nice $5 terry cloth. Ocasionally I'll use Plexus to finish. Shit looks tip-top.

My bike's always dirty and looks like shit... That's the beauty of a streetfighter... Reason # 954 to sell the 954... I want a bike that LIKES to be dirty.

Same here. I'm not talking a top to bottom detail...but I hit it with plexus and a microfiber towel all the time. Takes 10 minutes to make it look nice.

I made the decision that I would only wash the wheels every 5k miles on the Buell. They were black, a pain in the ass to clean, and looked like shit after you rode around the block. I don't miss that shit AT ALL.

Well the orange shows brake dust easily...so I like to wipe them down pretty often. Usually just a dry paper towel.

Oh, the front wheel is easy to clean... It's the back wheel that's a BITCH.

Yeah. My pods/airbox/tail look decent. it's the exhaust and wheels that look like shit. Rear is a bitch, expecially with the exhaust blowing on it.

I bought a can of a wash/wax spray stuff that works awesome. I can clean the whole thing in about 10 minutes.
