I hope it's just the weird angle, but it looks like the weld in this pic is cracked. (up high)

Had to do a double take. Hadn't notice since I was aiming for the rust. Just checked it and it's the angle and the way the light hit it. No crack.

Good catch!

It was a nice day indeed. Wanted to take it out and ride a bit but way too busy - let alone washing it.

On my bike, all the rust is on aftermarket parts (except the scratch on the swing arm).

Thanks man, I just wanted to ditch all the stickers on the bike, including the gigantic ones on the tank.
You did a good job on your sporty. Looks good. I don't think it looks that dirty. Kinda normal for around here. lol...

I got out of work a little early and went for a short ride, was so refreshing after a long week at work.

Ive never washed mine. Mother Nature does it for me. All I have to do is blow dry it at 70.

One of my fav scoots is down to the Farmers Market in Vancouver. There is a little black Gal there that makes the best fried chicken in the state. She makes all kinds of down home southern foods.
