I was thinking I was gonna be ok until you said that. I keep two duster rags in my bag just in case. Now if it would just stop raining cats and dogs then I could ride alittle more and clean alittle less.

Congratulations on your new scoot.

Normal?? Who the heck wants to be normal....

And it gets worse...you'll start carrying micro fiber cloths with spray cleaner in the trunk ( can't wait to spray and wipe on the bike)...you local drug store has you on speed call for new shipments of Q Tips and other cleaning items...Mothers, Meguiars, etc...has you on their mailing list as a preferred customer, your truck gets very jealous because of neglect....yeah a lot worse...

Welcome to the club!!! It's great!

For your sake I hope it stops at cleaning.

Had my first Harley, an '09 Road Glide, for a little over a year and after a paint job I will have virtually doubled the purchase price of the bike with all I have done on engine mods, exhausts, powder coating, LOTS of bling and on and on I could go.

From a financial perspective this rates up there as one of the absolute most stupid things I have ever done but damn it's fun.

Congratulations on the new Harley.

Some people think the more you are wiping a bike the more scrathes you get. So do you guys have a certain product you use? And do you have a certain procedure you use when you are wiping your bike down?
