It Had To Be Done!

I finally gave in ya'll. That's right I finally washed my bike. Now don't get me wrong, I enjoy a nice shiny bike as much as anyone. I just haven't been able to make myself take the time to clean Doll Baby up in a long long time. I like to say that she's for go and not for show.

Something happened the other day that made me decide to get out the bucket and soap. Ya see one of my fellow H.O.G. chapter members took a picture of my bike Sunday. He said that we were gonna have a dirtiest bike contest and he was sure I'd win. Even that was plain enough for me to understand.

So today after taking my little 630 mile daily drive at work I went for a short ride. Don't think that it didn't kill me to come home early. The skies were clear and blue and the temp was in the upper 70's. Don't get too excited because it was only a fast knock the dust off wash job. She still has plenty of character left on her.

i vote against washing Ronman. Bug guts are our badge of successful riding. Leave the polishing to Dave, he cleans his bike enough for everyone.

Upper 70's.... maybe I would wash my scooter if it got that warm. It's 25 degrees right now and I am planning to ride to work but the wash will have to wait for another day...

I'm not sure I've ever seen a dirty Harley around here. I don't think they are permitted in Pennsylvania. *grin*

Now the Doll Baby is happy. A shiny bike is a happy bike.
