Nobody said anything about the bikes not being able to get wet. I've been caught in some gully washers! But that doesnt mean I stand there with a hose and blast away! I've even heard of guys using a power sprayer!
uhh, yea. the power washer part. uhhhyup! that's me! Takes the dirt right off... I stick the pick-up hose in the S-100, and just squirt away! the I take the pick-up tube OUT of the S-100, and squirt lots more! and I chase the kids with it, and spray the passing cars that go by too fast, and squirt some more... Then I start it. and I put away the pressure washer, (craftsman, 13 hp, 3200 psi... it rocks!) and then I get the hose over to it and rinse it off real gentle like... the soft running water and the vibration makes it almost dry itself... then I put the hose away... (remember it's still running), so now all my chit is put away and the bike is all clean and nice looking and, well, I usually can't take it any more, what with that soft thumpa thumpa potato potato noise in the driveway and all. So, I put the leaf blower away and grab a lid and SEE HOW FAST SHE'LL GO!!! THAT KNOCKS THE REST OF THE WATER RIGHT OUT OF THOSE SWITCHES!!!!!!!!! Then I go inside and look sheepish when the wife says "you did it again, didn't ya"........ the we go out and pop the new bugs off with some Mcguires Final finish.... Have a little splash of scotch and giggle a bit.....
