    Since you think cleaning bikes is so fun, could you clean my KX?

    You got in there quick.....

    I used to like cleaning, but then it got to the point where I have little time and I know how much hassle it is to get the damned thing looking good.... The Honda was ok, but the beemer is just too hard....

    I have 2 toothbrushes for the bike...
    Pulled the fairing and polished the intake runners...the cooling fins (know where ya comin from there, PT)... frame... hoses.... inside cambelt covers
    that was the right hand side... this week will be the left hand side (at some stage)
    Remember, I use it daily, rain hail or shine... and i want it clean for the ride and shine on the 20th.... 6 hours didnt include the red bits.... that'll be just before the show..

    found another 2 toothbrushes too

    Never liked it from the start. No wonder when I have to clean a load of cow crap with a rag.

    I use the NC, daily too. I still only wash it every 6 weeks (if that) I just hate cleaning it Soooo much!
    It looks good though, even the chain is shiney, and the swing arm is beautiful!

    What's the "ride and shine"?..

    ok ... so I cheat .. 20 minutes at St Lukes doing the spraying water thing with degreaser, then pre-added detergent, followed by nice wax spray, but then, I guess I like technology. Besides, I'm just plain lazy.

    Why do Ducati riders have to use toothbrushes? I cant quite understand that one!
