For $500.00 I'll wash and wax it for you, and give you a fresh wax 2 times a riding season for 5 years.

Ask about the monthly air change special. I bet he comes back with, "yup, you should do it. For only $50 a month, or $399 a year, we'll purge the old stale air, and put in some new air....your ride will be like new every month".

Good grief - someone tell the dealer this is the 21st Century already. I haven't heard that whole Simonize pitch since the 70s - maybe earlier than that.

If you want your bike to shine, buy some Zaino products. I started using it last year and it's so slick, bugs can't land on it. They have leather treatment and windshield stuff too. They're great folks to deal with, and though not cheap, a whole box of stuff with everything doesn't get near $100. Go to Zainobros.com and check it out. I'm just a regular guy with no connection to these guys, but I'm sold.
