Default I feel like a detailing superstar

too cold to ride---need 5k service decided to detail the bike.

I've been putting this off since last Saturday (got soaked coming home). Got motivation from the spouse she started whinning ----- out to the garage.

Detailed the bike and did not draw blood---plenty of scratches but no blood. Cleaned the spokes and put a good coat of anti rust on them (wd40) now its sitting there looking good with nowhere to go.

Hopefully it will warm up soon.

lkr0....You must have alot of energy built up! The cold moved in on us also. I've got to go on a ride tomorrow and they are calling for the high to be 40. Gonna ride mine like it is. Its more fun playing on playstaion 3 and talking junk on the puter than cleaning!Maybe this weather will get better soon.

Yep, mine needs it too. Got caught in a downpour twice this week. Should I wash it...hmmmm...nope it will probably rain again next week. I'll stay with the forum.

God Bless and ride safe,

I only went out there cause the wife kept yada, yada, yada then it turned into "I'm feeling neglected" talk (were going to the movies tonight).

it's in the high 30's maybe lower 40's but the wind is blowing 10 to 15 mph.

Give me 40 degrees, and I'd be riding! I think it's like 10 here.

Yeah, it's 10 here too. Too cold for me to move the wife's car out of the garage and move my bike to her side so I can install the Hogtunes speakers I've had for two weeks. COME ON SPRING! To cold to do anything but stay in the house or go to the Mall, and I ain't a Mall person.
