A wash and polish....

[motosera]

I must admit I'm pretty lazy when it comes to cleaning my bikes - generally just wipe the flies off in the summer between rides and in the winter wash the salt off once per week.

So it's rare I actually got a bucket of water out and actually washed it!

Reminded me I must repaint those fork lowers.

Scrubs up alright for an old bird!

Um I've been saying I'll wash mine for the past week and half. Maybe tomorrow

I never have a plan to do a full clean, i just start by cleaning the screen, then the tank, gauges, etc. Until finally, i'm laying on the ground polishing the underside of the pipes. Be happy you don't have spokes with duel discs, impossible to clean easily.

Steam cleaner will get the spokes clean fast!
