Hoist!

I wash it every time, I live on a gravel ( .05 mile ) road but I ride in the neighbors yards . I've got this washing down to a science. Hose down, jonny mop, yard blower, baby diaper final dry. 15 minutes. Hossdog

I think a number of us here would agree that there's just not as much enjoyment if your scooter's dirty.  Not sure that it's classified as a disorder (or is it, D00d)?  har!  spyder

[Fired00d]

Nope, it's not a disorder.

Of course there isn't.  A dirty motorcycle is heavier than it would be if it were clean.........therefore slower.  Slow motorcycles aren't enjoyable.  So, it stands to reason that if you keep your motorcycle clean at all times, it will be lighter than it would be if it were dirty..........therefore faster.  Fast motorcycles are enjoyable, which equals............FUN!!!!!   

REGGAB------>    But his scooter is clean, enjoyable, FUN..........and what the heck, it's fast enough.

Hey, isn't he the Glare salesman?

Well, yes he is.

I clean my bike whenever I need to chill out, ponder the meaning of life, forget about the job and remember that I've got it pretty good. Sometimes I clean it when it's already clean just for the therapy.

No matter how clean and shiny I can always find a frame member or chrome bracket that needs a little attention.
You know, "What can shine will shine".
And, "You can never argue with done"
Start polishing!

 

[Banana man]

Sure do!!!!  Doesn't everyone?
I just can't stand a dirty bike. I usually spend
2 to 3 hours detailing.
