[Twisted2004]

which one? :p

I've cleaned the FJR 3 times since march, the Firestorm twice, the monster once and the Thunderace sometime last year, but since it's not moved, that#s not relaly surprising..

in the last week, not at all.. but they aren't that dirty..

Bought my bike October, let my 3yr old daughter have a go at washing it and that is as close as it has come to a clean. Service it regular, clean it? Maybe eventually? Bikes like to dissappear round my area, it pays to keep it looking grotty.

Was doing it twice a week, but seeing how the the only dirt on the bike is mainly bugs on the front i cant be arsed

Might go do it later though

bike gets a quick wash on wednesdays at work then on the weekend it gets good wash/dry polish. maint i do at work just bring it into office and up on the stands.

use everyday so that's why it gets done regular.

Very rarely wash mine, usually only gets a wash if theres a large enough puddle on the road.

Well... I've learned that I can actually control the weather, that is, whenever I clean it, it rains the following day/s. It's for this reason (ok, and laziness!) that it hasn't had a good clean in weeks

[akaDAVE]

I probably wash mine quite a lot for the number of miles I clock up.
Sometimes I'll just do the chain, but if I feel like killing a couple of hours but don't want to go for a ride I'll do a proper job - polish wheels and everything....then I usually want to go for a ride and get a coat of bugs.

mine is kept waxed and polished at all times. It doesnt go out in the rain and gets a wipe down after each ride.

[stinkwheel]

I haven't washed any of my bikes in the last 12 months.

I usually give the wheel a scoosh down with the pressure washer before I take it in for a new tyre to keep the tyre changing guy (who also does my MOTs) sweet.

[Dark]

Mine has been cleaned twice this year so far... as soon as i get it out the garage i can't help riding it

If you can get a sort of oily dust build up in all the nooks and crannies it will be less likely to rust than if continually washed.
When they stop throwing the salt about its only the nasty-looking dead bugs to remove - and they come off if you get out in the rain.

[KyleH]

ive cleaned it sanded it rust proofed it painted it took it apart and put it to bed

[Annabella]

I have half heartedly wiped half a wheel since August last year.

Yes my bike is filthy, but it doesn't look too bad as it is black

Usually after every ride, which is about 3-4 times a week.

I've never washed the bike.

Riding day in, day out (like I used to and hope to return to doing so once I've got the t-bike), I used to wash the bike about twice a week, depending on the weather.

[NSR Mick]

after all day everyday there should be a craigs23 option for no matter how much I clean it it's not clean enough.

[mr.z]

Hmmm about 4 times in the last year or so..

But when it gets cleaned it witha steam cleaner and t gets very throughly regreased and painted where its needed
