 |
|
Had the bike about 4 months and only been on the motorway once for 1 junction. Untill today. An hours run M4 - M25 - M1 and back and I've never seen the bike so dirty  nice run out tho, the bike was due a good run rather than the usual around town commute and it's all experience for me.
Only downfall is cleaning it  can i use a jet wash machine at the garage?!

Best explanation I've seen lately about whether to use a jet wash on your bike (yes) and how to use it correctly without stripping the paint or something equally stupid:

I went through some narrow ruts on Tuesday, puddles as deep as that water, but ruts so narrow, I was basically walking along above the bike, bent over, with my hands on the controls trying to get walk the bike out of it |

Salisbury Plain, it seems that tanks leave very deep holes! Was following Korn, who stopped before the puddle whilst I carried on into the puddle.
We got it running again after getting it out. Turned it over as much as possible to get water out, change the spark plug, bump starting failed after lots of trying but luckily some other bikers who saw us had a tow rope so bump starting became tow starting and that got it running again.  |

Probably not wearing Blue Roundal (Improperly described as a Propeller).
You see a BMW would probably drink all the water in that river/pond/lake/loch/puddle/pothole and shit it out the exhaust to make tea without slowing down.
