Cleanliness nearest thing to Godliness :glare:

Thanks Kildare Man, like I said, for me an integral part of biking is cleanign one's machine.
Its pure therapy for me to be honest and every bike I have owned has been sold as clean as when I bought it New! relatively speaking of course.
Not at all Man you dont have to feel ashamed sure each to their own and for me its a hobbie I get great joy out of getting the bike back to its former glory if it gets a soakig so if you want your bike cleaned give me a shout and make sure you have at least 2 to 3 hrs free lol.
Good to meet you today and thnks for that.

Cleanliness is the nearest thing to not spending enough time on the road.

Eamo used to clean his bike in the morning while we were in France......

Couldn't believe it... neither the hotel staff

I spent nearly one hour cleaning the rear wheel of the VFR yersteday....

Dont feel too bad Tenmill. I'm not big on cleaning it either.

That's right, wtf?
It's clearly a Bandit thing though, I remember once asking Tenmill how he keeps his so clean. I think I nodded off twice during his explanation!

And that was only after removing the cover that had been on it all night!!! Think it was to prevent any of the blueness from coming off!!

I am rising above your childish banter.

[Ian_49]

How do you wash a bandit again???

Keep it to one side of the car wash, or get the power wash at it?

God knows I havent washed mine in yonks!

[The Greek AKA The cat]

Saw the title of the thread and immediately thought "oh somebody must have bumped into TC".

You need help man and I dont mean cleaning!

Me to ......obsessive about cleaning that is
At the moment its the Duke and CBR that get red carpet treatment

[TC]

Ian, don't put a power wash near it unless its really manky but if so hold the hose a good distance from it.
TBH your better gettin loads of rest and preparing to use plenty of elbow grease later or tomorrow cleaning it.
If its reall manky you better set aside three or four hours to get it pristine again.
Cheers

Greek he did'nt bump into me by the way.

I must be setting standards here lol.

Ah look! each to their own. Every bike I owned was kept as good (more or less) a condition as the day I bought it.
Ask James O Brady, or Ajoe 90 they saw the picture of my Beloved VFR 800 Vtec Boo Hoo (I miss her). It was gleaming.
I just love cleaning the bike, its part of biking for me. If its not for you then thats fine bud.
