Its clean

Cleaning's a pain in the **** in the UK, the weathers usualy wet and the roads dirty, plus as soon as it gets cold they throw rock salt down, you can guess the end result if you dont keep on top of your bike. Harlies only tend to venture out here when the weathers dry and warmish, I've had so many beautyfull bikes wrecked because of the weather, not going to let it happen to this one, so I've become a weather geek. I still get the miles done though. I went out around he contry roads earlier in the week (250 miles ) and ended up covered in cow Sh**t. I use S100 before washing which does a fantastic job at getting the dirt off, if I could only just keep it off some how, that would be the answer to my prayers.

I gave mine the first good washing of the year last weekend, then took a trip to Savannah and back this weekend including a couple of hours riding in the rain. Oh, well...it was spit shined for a week at least.

You weren't riding it when you posted that (unless you have a laptop on your bike

) You could have been out there cleaning your beloved bike instead of being on here while your bike is out there rusting in filth.

Kudos for spending 4 hours cleaning your scoot.

I refuse to clean my bike. It's a matter of survival. Post nuclear holocaust I will be able to live off the dead bugs stuck to my bike for at least 6 months.
