So the wife is on at me...
« on: July 06, 2009, 08:03:02 PM »
Recently my riding buddy (my wife) was on at me about spending so much time cleaning my Screamin' Eagle and feeling that I am neglecting her '06 Ultra... "Just because it's not a CVO doesn't mean it shouldn't be clean, you know!"

So today I thought I would surprise her and I think she'll be pleased.  At least I hope so after 4 hours of cleaning and waxing!!!

We're on our way this weekend on a trip and now I just hope the forecast changes or it'll be all for nothing.  So just in case I thought I would share my efforts with you and see if you agree that black is beautiful, as long as it's clean.

I guess she does have a good point after all.

Well you have a keen eye... They are stock and she won't let me change them.  She had a great set of pipes on her last bike that I thought sounded amazing, but she says she enjoys listening to her radio better now.  Oh well, saved a little there so I can add more to mine!

They are also beautiful when the are NOT clean. That means you just rode it and there's nothing more beautiful than riding a motorcycle.
