Clean when it needs it. I'm not fanatical about it but for me it's as much a maintenance issue as looks. Dirt not only makes things where out faster and can cause things to malfunction, it also hides potential problems. I only discovered a crack in the tailwheel bracket of my airplane because I was cleaning it at the time. If I'd left it dirty, I never would have seen the crack and would have had a real problem some day when it decided to give way. I've also noticed my chrome wheels rust if I don't keep them clean, so that's another incentive. A clean bike is going to last longer.

I'm kinda **** about my Sportster... $2000.00 paint job and a ton of chrome... It don't go out without being clean...

Over the years I've mastered the quick detail so I always keep the bike showroom clean.
I always seem to get a lot of interest in my "new" HD so I love the looks I get when I tell people I have over 71,000 miles on the King!
Who says you can't have it both ways!
