Sad.... Just Sad.... The EVO Forum has become infected...

Next thread will be on whether chaps make your *** look good. Or does this 'Sons of Anarchy' t-shirt make me look too hardcore.

I had to double check to make sure I hadn't ventured off the EVO board... My bikes typically look pretty good, though only get a quick wash after getting caught in the rain.. Good waxing once or twice a year and ride the damn thing, winter mod time is perfect for that..... My 18 & 19yr old's always get looks from folks wondering what model year they are.. They always try to correct me when I start with '9* instead 20**..

Does riding in the rain count as washing it?
