Nice sig Marcus. Hope the bike is everything you thought it'd be. Hey it's a Harley...of course it is 
Now ride it as much as you can...washing is for suckers

No less than once a week, I enjoy washing, waxing, and polishing. And it is my time to check the bike over for damage, repairs, and just peace of mind. The White doesn't show dirt or dust that bad, and I like the compliments from people and fellow riders about how my bike being so shiney.

my bikes usually dirty. (not filthy but dirty) I'll take it to the car wash and rinse the bugs and road grime off a couple of times/summer. I used to be real fussy with my bikes but now i'd rather be riding than cleaning.

I clean the headlights and mirrors almost daily.
I wash the bike if it got wet or too bugged up. So far 3x in over 8k miles.
I did hit the whitewalls a lot when it was brand new, now i dont care so much.

Have never washer her once in 1.5k miles. The wrinkle black is easy money to take care of plus a little pledge and rag will do the trick, and if i find any swerls, i will use eagle one black magic wax, and the tank and fenders are wet look new.
