Good job young man .... keep it up and you will soon be challenging me for the title of 'bestest cleaner of bikes and shizzle'.

Of course I see your post as a direct challenge and have therefore booked off Thursday to clean the bike.
You can expect numerous closeups of downpipes and rear shock, showing the mintness of my winter ridden, 16k miler, 6 year old bike Smile

Lasted me well for the 10k I had it for last winter. I do miss its superior build quality.

Nice, i just got in from Uni and since it was still light so gave the bike a clean, polish WD40. Amazing how much crap is everywhere and ive tried to minimise my miles over winter (and have been cleaning every now and then!)

Though, although mine is now never clean i only spent 45 mins on it so not quite up to your standard!!

Nice CBR, when you get that? You still got the VFR right? I hope you do as i love that bike....

Hi Andy. Certainly been a while. Hope the course is going well.

I picked up the CBR last June, as a replacement for the R6. Don't worry, I've still got the '30 too - I might even MOT it this week. Thumbs Up

Nice

My fairings are the same, too many hidden bolts and to take one off you have to take the others off too Laughing

Hope you don't mind me asking but in your R6 pics how did you get the pillion peg hangers to look like that? Mine are horrible as is pretty much everything apart from the fairings Laughing

I think I just jizzed in my pants a little, the RR, the R6 and RVF all look utterly sexual. The CBR especially looks better by MILES after a clean! I hope I can spend afternoons/mornings cleaning my bike like that when I get one!

EDIT: I thought I'd add this youtube link to the thread because of the title Laughing

Wish I could get my Speedy that immaculate. Sad

General wear and tear all over the bike, not much corrosion thankfully though.

Wish I could afford a re-spray. Damn Triumph soft paint!

That R6 isn't clean Craig, look at the state of the brake fluid in the rear reservoir! Laughing

Looking good though.

I hope they're not going anywhere near your bodywork Wink

Remember, it's not clean until you can see your face in it
