    If I have enough time to clean the bike, I take it for a ride instead.

    its funny that all the people on here who ride shit house old bikes are the ones who dont bother cleaning them and say "no point as its just gonna get dirty again" but all the ones with nice bikes take pride in them an like to ride something that looks good and looks looked after.

    i cleaned mine yesterday and chances are it will get another clean on sunday so long as the weather is ok here in the chur this weekend
    So you started this thread to boost your ego , you found out who does not clean their bike and flame them, you find out who does clean their bike and go one better, and you also flame those who ride their bikes all year , old ones, who dont pamper them like you do.
    So really this is a troll thread to boost your ego!
    Really Rossi,
    I didnt think you were that shallow

    All show no go ?

    I have a Repsol replica which I think looks the shit but I don't clean it very often. (It's never really 'filthy') Doesn't make it any quicker over the Takas LOL

    When your bike gets dirty, just buy another one. More fun,

    unfortunately, I have to own a dirty bike,

    The cruiser I had was the most time consuming bike in 45 years to keep clean.

    that's naaaaasty.

    Oh wow I am Sooo impressed!!! NOT!
    My bike is parked outside 24/7.. I ride it every day.... it doesnt 'lurk in the garage' because it might get 'winter shit' on it, You can clean it as often as you like and have a 'Minter'... lets see it in 100,000km's time? Ah but, you'll ride it 3-5,000km a year max, and sit there crowing how 'wonderful you art'..... and replace it with the latest GSXBKR1 coz it's da shizzzzz, and ya gotta have da shizzz or you aint a real biker, eh?
    Go oil ya one piece leathers with the 'notre dame' hunch on the back, polish ya rossi paint job helmet, and write down the memoir's of how frikkin wonderful you are... just dont expect to sell a copy

    yes I bet the schoolgirl's all 'fawn' over it when you park outside the Junior high
