No. I Have always done the undercarriage. I winter ride so it is essential.

Completely understand. Family issues come up and sometimes we need to sell things, like the 2012 Shelby GT500 I had. Oh well, had fun with it while I had it, just like you did with your Chevelles!

Tank, fairing and bags get a complete wax once a week, overkill, probably, but I love it and it makes me happy to do it.

Have you tried riding the bike....

Yes sir, ride every day even if it's just around the block. 12,500 miles on the 2017 street glide and I have a 2015 BMW with 20k on it. No chrome on the beamer so it doesn't get near the cleaning attention. I bust my *** for everything I have so I make time to keep it like new. In 5 years if I choose to sell one of my bikes, trust me when I say, the potetional buyer will be over joyed to own it.

labor of love. A good cleaning should take about 2 hours..... or approximately 7-8 beers, lol

8 beers in two hours !! either small beers, or you aren't getting much work done with one hand..
