Cleaning saddo here im afraid..!! Why..?

1) I find it therapeutic...a bit of time away from my 2 young kids on a saturday morning and keeping company with Mr Carlsberg and the iPod while im doing it seems to work wonders for my stress levels..!!

2) I Get a bit of satisfaction when (Keith can relate to this im sure ) people have a good look over your bike and comment on what a great example it is...especially as one of thems 11 years old.

I must admit im not quite as fussy with the S4R as its newer and you can get away with not cleaning it for a while (only last night removed the gazillions of dead flies from it after my tour of the forest of dean last week), but I do really mollycoddle the 888 for obvious reasons.

As for my routine I guess its similar to others, but a great find was turtle waxes speed wax from there extreme range...(indicated by max power stylee fluro green bottle) best polish ive ever used and just a spray and wipe job..even dibble could use it...!!

Anorak removed...next...
