Wiped the bugs (a lot of them) off of mine yesterday and rode a night ride later.

My ST was cleaned up nicely today, albeit not by me. Just part of the dealer service from Cahill's in Zephyrhill's, FL as I had my Steed in for a valve check. I had left the tank with just a splash of fuel in it as a courtesy knowing they'd be raising/pulling the tank. They put more gas in! Guess they weren't comfortable with the flashing low fuel warning. They even documented all the clearances, all within spec :)

I washed off my old Vulcan 900 and put it out by the side of the road with a For Sale sign on it. Does that count?

My wife says that the only time my Tenere gets bathed is when I get caught in the rain.... ::025::

Riding the bike until it is completely filthy is always a god time. And then washing it sparkling clean and shiny is always good before doing any maintenance. I've found clean bikes are a lot easier to work on! ;D

Sort of the same, except the windshield. When the bugs get a half inch thick the car wash is used. If there is time the rest gets a rinse.
