I only do it a couple times a month but wish it was more often.

I've done it with all of my bikes.

Sometimes I'll wipe something off
I can relate man... do you wipe the spooge off before or after it dries ?

I do it all the time.and if my wife got new **** I'd still make time for my bike. Theres something about tha damn thing, I think I wonder subconsciously what others see when it drives by, or when they see it. I love the view on it but I gotta admit its pretty cool to look at too.

I did it again yesterday, got to detailing the bike and smoking a cigar. Wife wanted me to start the grill too so i did. 30 minutes later after the cigar finished, i remembered the chicken. One side was a little more crispy than desired but still good. LOL

Count me in too. When I'm not actually staring at it I just scroll through my i-phone pics of it. Often just to break things up a bit I stare at my screensaver that I made of so many FLH's I see on the forums. Yes I even stare at others too and if I like em... I steal them. Thank you.
