Bummed out with My Clean Bob

I got my 2011 Fat Bob all set up for the season and went to a local bike night here in Mass only to realize that my perspective while setting up the bike was skewed.

I wanted a hardcore "dirty bob" and I got a clean "pretty bob"...any suggestions other than getting it dirty and not washing it? Where did I go wrong? Any ideas on how I can rough it up a bit? Maybe I just need to ride the s&!t out of it and not polish it....

Put some miles on it man. It won't stay pretty for long, and it's a lot harder to reverse. I'd say enjoy it while it lasts!

What is missing??? Bug guts smeared all over the front end, heavy coating of brake dust on the wheels, road grime from rain covered roads. The list goes on but you get my drift. Just ride and screw the cleaning.

Take it on a trip thru the desert, then back across the plains... that's what I did. I still can't identify half the sh*t plastered or baked on my baby... lol.
