Had today booked off from work for a while. Weather aint too bad, lovely sun with the odd light shower, nowhere nr the storms down south. So thought id give me girl loads of TLC TAKEN ME about 5 - 6 to give her a good seeing to Bottom fairings n rear hugger off 2 x of washing Dried her off whilst shes running to dry up the internal bits that are hard to reach, god i kove the sound of that Racefit growler WD40 fir all the metal bits yep inc the discs, as it will dry off by time im out on her again n never had issue cleaning discs with it. Mr Sheen for the plastics Now just having a cuppa whilst admiring me handiwork n admiring the lovely curves n polished bodywork. Anyone else spend hrs cleaning in the man cave n love it??
much prefer to ride it to be honest, I do clean it because I have to, but not because I like to, which Is why I don't ride in the rain much, to much bloody cleaning to do can't see the joy in cleaning anything, now if we are talking about stripping the bike down and fiddling with the mechanics, to keep it running well or better, that's a different story though I will say that I doubt you will ever my bike looking dirty
I wouldn't say as much as riding but I do enjoy looking after the bike, any excuse to skulk off into the dinning room.
I really don't mind the cleaning part, i normally wash and wax it after every ride out. I tend to use this time as a check over of my bike, making sure i have not picked up any nails or other objects in the tyres, oil level, lights etc, this way when it's time for the next ride out i can just jump on it and go knowing everything is as it should be when i left home
Most days I hate cleaning the bike. There are the occasional times though, probably only twice a year when I actually enjoy it. Much prefer riding it. Never take fairings off though to clean underneath. I clean what can be seen and forget the rest, sloppy I know but I just can't stand the hassle. I hate to admit this, but I used to enjoy cleaning my Ducatis and my Brutale, probably because they looked so stunning. I like the look of my bike but it just does not inspire me to gaze at it lovingly like the ones I mentioned did.
Yep another reason y im soo anal about cleaning me bike, good way of checking all the bits to make sure everything is all ok for me next rideout
i'm always so late in from a ride out i dont have time to clean it after!! have to sling it in the garage and go inside to apologise to lisa..... lol cleaning is ok, sometimes a chore.. although might go and chuck a bucket over the R1 because it's bogging from getting wet on the last two ride outs ha ha some of you lot would have a meltdown if you see it
I don't wash but I do use that spray wax ProShine / wash and shine Spray over the muck ... polish off ... sorted
Riding first of course but I don't mind cleaning it ! mainly because I am looking after my investment ! My game is crawling around under the bike with wonder wipes and getting into all the out of reach crevices .
Sum1 has given me a bottle of that stuff, he says just spray it on dirt n wipe off, wont that scratch the fairing?? Am soo scared if using it, ive out it in the bottom of me cleaning box n forgot about it??
I dont really like cleaning, but it has to be done....but i go as far only washing and a bit of wax...still haven't gone to detail like some of you lads do. I try and make it a bit fun and get my son involved Much prefer riding to cleaning!
I'm with Simon I won't ride in the rain because I hate cleaning it so much. I come back after a ride and wipe it down with a damp sponge and then dry it with a towel, seems to bring the bike up lovely. Occasionally I'll polish the bike but I have to really be in the mood.
Don’t get me started on this or you will get me back out cleaning the Pani once more in case I missed a bit, funny I never seem to spot any dust around the house.
my bikes always clean I love cleaning it as much as I do riding it I don't ride in the rain to me its for enjoyment and I don't enjoy getting wet
