How do YOU detail your bike?

[Mr Lefty]

the only moisture the DRZ ever saw was rain... it's still got dirt on it from the day I got it I'm sure...


only part I EVER CLEANED that you can see is the chain...

I use the plexus and have a can of s100 that I actualy got for free a while back. seems to do a good job for cleaning.

I dont wash the bike to often but do keep up on the chain esp with riding it on and off the jobsites with all th emud and concrete crap.

Other than that I will use wd40 to clean the chain goop and brake dust off the rims

The last time my bike was washed was last May. My buddy Doug washed her for me in a car wash on our way to the annual VFRD meet at the Gap. Flat black looks the same no matter what..

I live on a dirt road so washing is pointless anyway. My car gets washed weekly and you can never tell! . If I want to clean the chain on the bike I take the stuff with me and do it while out otherwise it's a dirt magnet.

I admire a man with True Grit, and you have it.

You pushed it through the seals on your forks, and all the bearings and bushings you could find, at 80 McBillion miles an hour.

So, there it is, reading Rust Monthly's Swimsuit Edition, thinking to itself, "Man these tapered rollers are kinda cute. Maybe I'll just wedge myself up there some..."

The ironic side of all this, is that when grit decides to have sex with your bearings, there's no lube, because you blew it all out when you blew the grit in.

In my experience, this means someone is going to cry.

That's ok.

I'm sure it won't happen to YOUR bike, on account of how it's so much better than other bikes...

Besides, everyone knows that the laws of common sense don't really apply in Texas.
