Mot today..pished down and home to find the bike looks like i came home over the fields.....grr. much washing now.
The bike looks beautiful,as for the cleaning this is the downside to naked/exposed engines,but a very nice set of bins for Ducbird
Buy yourself a gt1000 and michy pilot 4's and save heaps on back and neck strain after a ride in the wet.You know damn well it's hard to shotgun a tinnie when you have a sore neck you can't bend backwards.
Helps if you have the right staff: A 'gentleman's gentleman' to clean the bike after every ride, and teach the wife to pour the beer properly & then hold the glass whilst you imbibe at your leisure....
