So after doing my outside chores, I broke out the water hose and washed the ride, could not believe how much grude was on her....(FJR)-aka-perfectblueride

Now she looks almost new again- actually put the summer cut off shield on as well.....little chilly for the ride in, but the 80's and humidity are fast approaching......

 
Mike, Some things you shouldn't admit in public. Washing your bike is one of them... ;)

Funny you wrote this because I just got pressured into washing the bike for charity! Amazing what a clean windshield looks like!

I guess you guys can paint me and my FJR every color of the rainbow :dribble: She gets washed every weekend, before and after any long trip......and even during road trips!

Last summer while at Deals Gap, a nice ole lady working at the Microtel in Robbinsville gave me a bucket, soap, and towels, and pointed me towards the motels garden hose :yahoo: Rose Ellen was nice and shiny for Killboy's pics while tearing up the Dragon!

A clean FJR is a happy FJR :rolleyes:

What's so wrong about washing your bike, mines being washed right now. It started raining about 15 minutes ago, nothing like a good acid rain to get the bug guts off the sheild.
