::)I do my wife thinks I'm nuts but getting off the bugs and break dust off the rims saves allot of time and money down the road, break dust can eat a rim if let go, so cleaning is good. ::)

Mine gets washed every time I lie about washing it. I bought it to ride not to clean!!
That time can be used for better things, like :drink: :drink: :drink: :drink: :drink: :drink:

Can't show ya how badly I don't! Just broke a lens trying to get a pic of Cybil after MV! :o

She's still like that and now she's in the shop. Prolly makes many of ya'll's skin crawl! So I guess ya know by now that I should probably start a thread for those that really never worry about this chit at all. And they'll know they're not alone, and I know they're out there too! I just admit it publicly is all!!! ::) ;D ;D ;D ;)

Mine gets cleaned and detailed every other Friday. I use a treated duster by Beverly Hills Motoring Accessories on it during the off weeks. When I travel I use  a quick detail  product at the end of each day just to get the bugs and road dirt off

mine gets dusted and detailed about every other day, but that is mainly because i ride at night with all the juicy bugs.  the good thing about keeping up with the cleaning is you don't have to break out the hose and blow dryer as often.

I have cats to take care of the bugs. They just lick them off. The only problem is they are indoor cats and it's hard to get the RG thru the garage walk door and up the stairs.

Cats are light, and if you get good with the touch, a light kick is all you need to increase their cleaning radius...

If I can catch them ( cats ) I'll try taking them out to the garage and try your way.

Just did 1250 miles from DFW to AR and back.  It is still sitting in the garage with all of the imported bugs and crap all over her.  Maybe get around to cleaning it this weekend when the bugs are all good and hard.
