Before & After every single ride since she was purchased, and I have also been known to sneak out into the parking lot in the middle of the night on weekend excursions just too do touch ups, because I can not get to sleep if I don't.  :-[   yes......I'm one sick pup  :P  :huepfenlol2: :huepfenlol2:


Hell Eagle1,  If you lived in Houston I would support your addiction by allowing you to detail my CVO anytime -- LOL.

You sick puppy....

Turtle Wax has some new products that pretty much are like the Glare ones but cost half as much and there is NO white residue on your rubber or black painted parts.

I bought all the products at Target (Walmart will NEVER see my fat *ss in its stores). 

The $$ savings are significant so I can buy more oil to push through my leaking 110 heads.    :P

Nope......at most, I clean the bugs off...............BUT, there are situations afterwhich I will wash and detail:  Rain, lovebugs, before surrendering it for maintenance/modification/upgrades, after maintenance/modification/upgrades, the passage of two weeks.....but certainly not after EVERY ride.  I usually ride every day if it isn't raining or so friggin' sweltering hot.  The way I clean, I'd never get to ride.   :P

Spew!   ...
BTW - 2Lane only removes the dead cats when the time changes in fall and spring!!!


Major spew!
When I first found this site I was looking for add-on's for the bike to be. The first was an oil temp gauge. That's when I found 2ln's post and dry sense of humor!  :D
I really thought this site was all serious and just about "wrenching" and didn't want to look like a newbie who absolutely nothing about motorcycles & then I saw that post & knew I'd fit right in.

Terry already mentioned these things..........the Windex Ammonia free wipes.........you can get 'em at Walmark in the car cleaning stuff section.  Those things are great when you're on the road, or when you get home late, really want to grab a beer and go to bed, but can't stand thought of bugs eating at your clearcoat.  I've gone through 7 packages of those things this summer.  Great stuff.

Used to clean and detail about every twenty minutes when I first got it, just work the bugs off every ride now.

I've never washed it, nor did I wash my other ones... just kept them wiped down.

For some reason this one doesn't get very dirty, even while in the rain!

That or yer just gettin old like the rest of us and need to get your eyes checked??  :huepfenlol2:

Waiver - I have no real opinion as I take my duty as BSR seriously and let HogBreath deal with cleaning the girlfriend (apparently it works out that I clean the house and he cleans the garage. Just wish I could use the leaf blower too!)

You don't need a trailer in Howieland Don. Everything's already there, when you get where you're going. Including the cold beer! ;D
