no, but my aversion to all this anally retentive fairing off and calipers in buckets cleaning is very well historically documented and includes a Surrey DSC award for "regions dirtiest ride" .. which I do believe was in relation to the bike ......

well, go & read another one then:P

or put up a poll - "do you clean your bike or not!"

C:smug:

I'm with Dibble on this.

I clean it when it's dirty using Halfords car shampoo. A quick rinse with a hose, then a chamois dry. If the wheels are bad, I'll use Muck Off or similar.

I haven't got the time or the inclination to be polishing the bikes/cars every 5 minutes!

woo hooo, i'm not the only one .....

Cleaning your bike (Poll: how often)
 

as in the title how often (if at all) do you clean your bike

[Edited on 29-6-2005 by CK and AK]

I clean the bikes .... occasionally.

As long as it's not filthy I don't really see too much point in trying to keep a bike I ride very regularly spotless. As long as it's maintained it's cool.

If I had an 'R' and didn't ride it all that much I'd probably make more of an effort (don't hold me to that!) but wouldn't for something I ride regularly.

I've gone for more than 3 times a year.

I don't see much point in having it super spotless to be honest. I've just answered in the other thread and lost motivation to write much else.

:D

Playing devil's advocate here (no harm intended)...

Say for example you were as anal as me and/or others do you think you might have spotted the problem with your brakes before the inevitable?

Nelly cleans mine ... don't you mate .... :roll:

truth hurts
:devil:
