Default First time in three years

for the first time since I have owned the bike I actually polished all the chrome; amazing what a little elbow grease will do.

You should be ashamed of yourself for neglecting that bike like that.

the bike is my daily transportation; I wash it every month or so, just have never put polish to her... she does get to stay in the garage at night though.

It is amazing what a day of detailing and polishing will do. When I cleaned up my Lowrider to sell, it looked so good I contemplating keeping it.

That's a good looking Road King you have.

Looks good. I'm guilty then. I ride close to 10k miles a yr and only wash 2 or 3 times. It's not even full on detail, just a regular wash that dealer does after an oil change.
