I know some of you enjoy the bonding that comes with cleaning your motorcycle and getting it all squared away and looking good. I hate it. Wheeled it out of the garage today and took a long look at mine and what a mess it is. I don't think I've washed and detailed it in at least two years. Been at it for a couple of hours now and it looks barely OK. From about 30 feet away ;-)
I've pulled the muffler, some panels, the chain guard, panniers and topcase, crud is everywhere......
I know in short order it will be back to looking like the 60,000 mile motorcycle it is. Seems like a waste of time. I can put a coat of wax on my Tacoma at it looks great for months and thousands of miles...the NC? Not so much.
Nobody around to complain to so I'm venting here ;-)
Oh well, finished my lunch break and heading back out to the driveway with a toothbrush and degreaser...
