       Last time I checked, you gotta ride it to get it dirty.

This Chithead may not ride every day, but when he does ride, he rides as much in a day as you do in a month.

Cleaning after you ride is good idea. I tried cleaning the bugs off after each ride, but it didn't work out that they. Time is precious at the house. Now that the weather is clearing up riding everyday for at least 1 or 2 hrs leaves a lot of bugs. So I wipe off the big ones and wash everything on the weekend. That gives me a chance to look over the whole bike; kind of like doing a PCI. Taking it in for its 2,500 service. Got it get it b 4 I PCS. Saves me 450.

And by the way, it doesn't how much you ride, it's the ride that counts......

FYI
     To clean bugs off, soak a towel in water with a little soap and drape it over the windshield and fairing. Leave it on for several hours and it will loosen up all of the guck so you can simply rinse off with a hose. When you wipe off hardened bug guts you run the risk of scratching your paint and windshield

No my point is to be as big a chithead as possible so you'll change your vote on that thread to ME.

 You don't have any more chance of winning than you do of winning the most miles ridden in a year award so what's YOUR point  :sauer052:

If you'd been paying attention you'd realize that the poll was set up so the votes couldn't be changed therefore you requests can not nor will they be granted. Furthermore you don't see me campaigning to win neither the Chithead award or the most miles ridden. :P :huepfenjump3: :huepfenjump3:

Without any bias to any chitheads out ther, by the way, chithead are riding color coordinated bikes and helmets arent they? Try the stuff called "ICE Detailer" I've used it for about three months now and I love it. I use it on the windshield too. Takes the bugs and tar off like someone else is doing it for you, hardly any rubbing at all...O.K. a little rubben never hurt anybody. IMHO

No. I guess it's like with fine optics. More camera lenses are destroyed by excessive cleaning than from use.
