Wasing motorbikes....

My bike gets washed regularly - every couple of months when it's in for a 6,000km service at Holeshot.

If you pledge your bike, does that mean that you promise to buy it, like Telethon used to do ?

CT 18 from SuperCheap is really good stuff. Just follow the directions. I tend to over concentrate it but it does no harm. All you need is a spray bottle, garden hose, and a couple of hours to go and do something else (like try and wash the slime off your hands) while it does its thing.

I think McDuck did the "was" on purpose to stir up a thread of piss (or is that pis) takes !!

My bike is a workhorse, not a show pony so it's not washed these days.
I found out long ago that washing a bike is a sure way to guarantee rain.

That being said, it's in at TSS today for it's 24000km service, so I expect it will be cleaned at lest a little during the process..

So assuming that this thread is about washing your bike, I wash mine the same way I was my car but with a little more attention to detail. I use all the same cleaning products.

If the chain needs cleaning I clean it then wash the bike and once all is finished and dry I lube the chain. I'm still trying different metal/aluminium polishes to find the one I like the most, I'll let you know how that goes.
