Default Happiness is a clean motorcycle...

...cuz then you can go and get it dirty again.

started with the header pipe:

Before:



After (almost there - didn't want to spend my whole lunch break on it so I'll come back to it later):



Then I figured I'd rinse the bike off:



Then I figured, aw what the hell, may as well polish it as well (Turtle Wax Ice):



A little closer:



(don't mind the freshly waxed chain - chain guard turned out pretty good but the sticker will be coming off soon):



From the front:



From the middle:



Instruments cleaned up nicely:



Even the turn signals turned out pretty decent:



Engine:



Reflection:





Gotta do the wheels still:



Mini-Me:





All in all, I'd say I had a successful lunch break.
