    Okay when i give my bike a "good" clean it can take me up to 2-3hours, getting every lil bit of it polished ect and i will do this at least once a month more if it constantly being ridden in the rain.

    Any one that has seen my bike can vouch how clean I keep it.

    I could do it in a mankini if you really wanted me to, but it's gonna cost you a lot of money, and probably your eyesight too!
    If we lose our eyesight real quick does that mean we can touch???

    Cool

    There is nothing like a sunny Sunday in the backyard with a 1/2 doz cold ones cleaning the bike.

    Dirt bikes: CRC the whole bike BEFORE racing, then hose off.

    May the bridges I burn light the way.

    you're a bunch of nerds. Bikes are meant to be ridden. not washed.

    But I know your pain, petrol prices are so high might have to stop riding it one day a week and just clean it.

    Actually with all the efford im putting into painting my bike, i might never take it out side..... (jokes)
    Then I could get a Kb Tshirt, move to Timaru and become a full time crossdressing faggot

    Offer made to the KB'ers in Christchurch

    I have been thinking of such a venture just like this in Christchurch.

    So I guess now might as well be as good of time to see if it would take off.

    Service's would include :

    • Degrease
    • Wash
    • Dry
    • Polish
    • Chrome polishing
    • Tyre silicone
    • Chain lube


    Whatever you want really.

    Maybe we could offer a pick up/drop off service (for an additional charge)

    Can only offer Saturday or Sunday cleans. Price by negotiation but would be around the $120 mark.

    So give us your GRUBBY DIRTY bikes and have them back in showroom condition

    Send me a PM if interested

    Clean everything PROPERLY including wheels so it looks original, suds up, chamoi dry, Ice to finish. A huge job, but will make very part of your bike look like new.

    Cleaning my bike gives me pleasure, so I would not dream of paying anyone to do it for me.
    Ride fast or be last.

    Now there could be a good business idea here, bike valeting

Does anyone know a bike valet service anywhere?? I do enjoy doing it myself but too much time in the garage gives me earache from the Mrs so it would be handy to know if there are any services in Auckland???
