    Grime

    Grime? Spooge i think is the official term according to the Firestromer dictionary.... so go clean the rest of the spooge off your bike then go for a ride (i am.......)

    Steam clean 5 mins
    2hours to wash polish tank and shiny engine parts
    Only when it gets really dirty.

    It's finished, just have to re-oil the chain
    I so can't be bothered going for a ride
    Note to self, pick up a 'Firestormers dictionary' on bike "lingo".

    Try cleaning a MXer. No matter how hard you try to make it look clean, once it drys, it still looks like you've just been riding.

    I think the neighbours would freak out, I think they can just handle that I ride a loud bike. I don't think going outside and washing the bike in a bikini is a good idea when you are this "tattooed up" in a nice part of the Mount. They might think I'm trying to nick it and rob the house...lol

    Try cleaning summat like this....

    The fins on that pot are an absolute bitch, which is why they arent clean. One is, but only because it was covered in oil and thats easier to get off than spooge in oxide...

    Still, toothbrush or paintbrush job, and it'd take ages if I ever bothered.... :disapint:

    You fullas with full fairings have got it easy........

    You forgot about

    Sleeping, reminiscing, sleeping, riding at 90kmh, sleeping, being an arsehole™, sleeping, NotWavingToSprotsBikes™, sleeping, complaining about washing bikes, sleeping, yelling at KidsTheseDays™, sleeping, and saying things like "BackInMyDay™"

    Plenty of things to keep those chronologically challenged of us amused.... :cool2:

    6 Hours?!!!
    FFS!! Did you get all the dirt off it? Most of it was polishing the knobs, eh?


    I have 2 toothbrushes for the bike...

    NC 30, all you have to do is walk down to the beach, and say to a couple of guys that you need some help with your bike. Wearing the forementioned bikini you'll have no lack of people lining up to clean your bike
    Speed limits are just a suggestion, like pants.
