If you live in auckland i'll do it for you!

$15 for a 250 size Road bike/cruiser
$20 for a Large road bike/cruiser
$25 for a caked Dirt bike (negotiable depending on condition)

$5 of every bike washed will go back to KB for site costs etc.

I can either come to you or you can drop it off to me (in Greenhithe).

I will be using Armour All Heavy Duty Car wash with a chamoix and and soft bristled brush for all wheels and plastics etc.

For the chain i will use a nail brush and then re-oil with Castrol chain oil.

All stainless/chrome will be polished with autosol.

PM me for details and to arrange a time.

Thats TOO cheap mate!
You'll never make a $ doing it at that price.

By the time you travel to their place,,, pay for the products used,,
unless your doing it for a 'Bike cleaning fetish' you'll be working for $3/hour.

Been there. Done that. Don't want to see others doing it.

So very tempting, but I wouldnt put you through the missery of doing mine.
Im still getting th weeds out of it.
Just took the pipes off and emptyed the mud out.
Aff-man did offer me 20cents to take it into the shop like that tho :P

hmm... How about polishing header pipes? Nah,prefer to clean it myself. Helps me stay connected to the bike.

Those guys get so much money.
Just think, if you get a few dollars for a car once every 10mins
thats like $40 an hours, outlay costs, some water and a squeeggy.
And its all tax free

Hehehehe remember that episode from The Simpsons when Homer becomes a beggar and makes a ton of cash......

Bit hard to wash windows now with the weather doing it for us.

washing windows at lights is illegal in nearly every single district in NZ....

anyway i like bikes and i dont think many bikers would be assed taking their gloves off to give me coin if i cleaned there blade or visor!

John you queer, if you ride it down to Auckland then i will clean it, otherwise you are paying for gas! If you take it to tristans i'd do it there!

By the way guys - Gareth is pretty handy mechanically too and a bit of a ZXR250 expert.

So all you ZXR250 riders should see if he has some spare time to give you some advice/help. He is a busy fella with uni though.......

I'm sure it will be cheaper than paying $60/hr at a bike shop.

Funny, they always wash my bike screen fucks me off but everyone thinks its funny, and they always ask me to do wheelies and burnouts :mellow: cops dont bother unless someone complains, tis the perfect crime.



John I gareth_d am a gay queer, if you ride it down to Auckland then i will buff you off, otherwise you are paying for an asian sex slave from whangarei! If you get tristan in on it, I'll do it for free!

:O

Thanks for the offer but I just chuck mine in the washing machine. Also, it'd only be worth 50c to wash, it's smaller than most cleaning rags.

R6_kid
2nd October 2005, 16:15
this isnt to go towards the R6, its so i can pay off small debt asap.

On a more serious note, i am serious about doing this and if you dont have time to clean your bike then let me do it. Crashe, sixpakbak and swanman will all tell you i can do a decent cleaning job in 20mins, so if i spend an hour on your bike then imagine what it will be like.

Hehehe - yeah will do - know anyone who can lend me $20/hr??

The reason I recommended Gareth is he bought his ZXR in little bits in several boxes and put a bit of blood, sweat and tears into getting it all together.

EDIT : Yeah and he's pretty ok making 10 year old chains look like new again - eh Swanny??

already have one taker - a well known KB'er.

John is a bit of a suspension man if says so himself - but i dont know anyone else that has more excuses for NOT riding or being 'slow'.

cool.
been wanting someone to clean my bike for ages

wont take long haha

fairings dont really need a clean just the chain and wheels need some good cleaning.

only reason fairings wont need a clean is cos im repainting them all this week. fuck you should see my tank now that its finally gotten started. no more is it black with purple streaks from where I splilt petrol but its finally the metallic blue that it deserves. not to mention I sanded the petrol cap down so its polished metal and no longer black.

GLEEE GLEEE GLEEEEEEEEE

pm.d you gareth

My bikes smaller than a gsx250, lighter too, do I qualify for the budget clean or is pricing based on the formula that 250 riders are learners, generally younger and poorer than the rest of us? Also is a wash of a naked bike cheaper or more expensive?

pyrocam
2nd October 2005, 17:33
oh yeah and I do agree with someone who posted up there somewhere that your prices are too cheap.
only $10 in your pocket to clean a 250cc bike?

I reckon that might be worth it for my bike considering you will hardly be touching the fairings but.

well

I will be talking to Spankme soon to see just how much need $$$ the site requires to keep it running and may adjust the $5 accordingly. I could charge more but i mean i used to get paid $10 for cleaning a car... and i didnt enjoy that.

If people are willing i wont turn down travel fees, but then again i can get nearly anywhere in auckland and back for under $5, and if it fits in with my travel arrangements then its not so much of a problem.

As for the naked bikes... what kind of bike is it? Will see what its like when i see it, but it'd be best to have your $20 handy just in case.

R6_kid
2nd October 2005, 19:55
oh yeh, if you are expecting me to come and do it at your place you will need to have a bucket and a water supply (preferably a hose) that i can use.

pyrocam

and gareth, if its better for you i might see you this week.
any weeknight is good for me.

I dont have a hose alas.

and indiana jones has requested that you come in short shorts and I take plenty of pictures.....

Yes, I need my bike cleaned (it's been covered in road spooge for months), but I like to do it myself. Apart from the fact I've got no driveway, so all the soapy suds go down the gutter to help clean the fish, and there invariably seems to be a steady stream of passersby around me as I'm washing it so I feel like a nong...

currently bikeless until either
A. The zxr comes back from the paint shop
or
B. I get the R6 before that.

Will be in contact with those that have asked for their bikes cleaned very soon.

Sorry about the delay - i wasnt expecting to be bikeless. :crybaby:

The windscreen washers can always be located on the corner of Pitt Street and Neilson Street (<-- I think thats the one).

They never wash my bike :(
