    Penance.....


    Nah seriously, its the only way to get in all those tight corners and have a good go at the Spooge™. Especially on cast alloy.....

    Only required on really really cool bikes though....
    Queiro voya todo Europa con mi moto.... pero no tengo suficiente tiempo o dinero.....

    I don't really enjoy the actual cleaning of the bike.

    What I do enjoy is taking photos of it after while its glowing :cool2:

    And I am sure it rides better when its clean

    I'm very lazy about cleaning my bikes, don't know why coz I always love them more when they are clean. Took me 6,000k and 8 months before the Brutale got it's first clean. At least with the waterblaster cleaning it is more fun !!

    In fact today it got it's second clean. I must be getting soft, only 3,000k and one month after the last clean.

    What a lazy bunch you all are. I use my bike daily, and usually give it a quick wipe down when I get home, and a more thorough clean if it's been wet.

    It's actually because I'm lazy and it's a lot less work than leaving it for too long a time. Besides I'm not convinced that the finish on the GS is that great, and it looks so nice with all that black and charcoal polished.

    Must be easier than cleaning that Ducati 600 though.

    The Duc's pretty easy unless its rained... muddy water all over the front cylinder and you have to pull the fairing to get at it (6 bolts)
    I clean it coz it takes my mind of other stuff... glad I cant multi-task
