Title: You could eat your dinner off it
Post by: Hutchie on July 04, 2011, 00:02:13

I sneaked up the back of the garage, moved THE ICE QUEEN's car , rolled the bike down the hill near enough so the hose could reach.

Drumroll, I sneaked out and washed the bike.

4 HOURS later.....

But  , now , again , it seems a crime to ride it . I like it dirty, feels more lived in.

Hutchie I almost fell of my chair!!! I was expecting you riding through a river or something...
Now I will have to clean mine:)
I though we decided not to pay any attention to what Mr Knobby said:)

I think your shiny bike is going on my desktop home screen.

bloody hell, I just got a very hot crotch when I spilt my tea!
I never thought I'd see the day. lol
I too spent 4 hours cleaning Suzi yesterday, even got round to giving the mrs cage a (very) quick clean while waiting for the bike to dry to polish it!
looking good Huchie, but please get out and dirty her up again, it's not the same clean.

I don't think it's Mr. Knobby's fault, I think it's THE ICE QUEEN, after having cleaned and tidied the house he was so brain washed/automated he had to do the bike! I didn't bother cleaning mine, this weekend I'll be servicing brake callipers so I'lll have to give it a hose down afterwards to get rid of any brake fluid I might have spilled.

I think  your dirty biked looked the part much more than Mr. Knobby's shiny white one, he even told me he washed it right before :crazy:

Good man, mr diver! Nothing wrong with some sensible bike cleaning practices. I too resort to toothbrushes for those hard-to-reach crevices which seem to be all over the body, and then I start on the bike.
Its just annoying when the batteries run down, and I have to resort to flossing the threads on the tyre valves...

Anyway, I'm off to put a capful of mouthwash in me coolant......chool mint, of course...

Hutchie- before you washed it, it looked like you had eaten Your dinners off it, man - regularly :shock:
