If your having trouble getting the stuff off your pipes try Colonel Brassy metal polish......two parts the tall white bottle is the rough cleaner and the second is the short plastic container and it's called major shine. A neighbor restores motorcycles and he says it will cut anything.

Remove the passenger pegs.....if she really wants to ride she can wrap her legs around you.
