Me too! Took me 12 hours yesterday just to do my bike. Now I got 1 more bike to go. So much for getting in on the opening day events. Oh well, these are the pains of owning a Harley. I have to tell yea, this Mothers 'Reflections' line of 3 waxes is fantastic! They give you that wet look. The weather is really nice too! No more days to go. It's here!!!! Lets ride!!!!

Well, I'mgoing for that "show room finish". As you know, it's a very tedious process. I just wanted to be through. I'd like to stand out a bit when were cruising on U.S. 1 and all areas. I only wash it like this every few months or so. It makes regular washing less frequent and much, much easier. To each his own.

Well, it's done. Just under 9 hours. About as good as it ever been. Thank god for micro-fiber towels and polishing pads. Now I hope, I can relax and enjoy the rest of Biketoberfest.
