Importing a Harley

Hog's are a pretty straight forward affair. They attach them to the end of a rope which hangs off the side of the ship. When the ship pulls into port they drop the thing over the side thus stopping the big freighter floating away.

Nothing a good solid day of pollishing wont cure but hard to keep it clean constantly.

Sound like all the normal rust spots for a Virago - mine has it in all the same places. Time for some pre-season polishing.......

Very good for the soul this pre-season polishing stuff, eases tension and calms the mind while blackening the fingers...

Season ? what is this season of which you speak?

And if the good Lord had meant bikes to be clean, He would not have invented dirt and mud. And would have made grease and oil shiney.

It is simply thus - while those in the north ride around in the same weather conditions all year (ie rain), we in the south have 6 months of glorious sunshine to look forward to.

And did the good Lord not make Turtle-wax, Autosol and tyre dressing too??

So that our raging tormented soul can be placated by the act of cleaning and polishing our scoots?

YES!!!!

He also invented tar seal, belt drives and garden hoses to assist in the cleanliness of said scoots.
