More people should spend more time cleaning their bikes not just because bikes are a big investment, but to give it a good inspection for loose bolts, nuts, belt wear and slick spots on tires while cleaning. 😎👍
You might have mentioned this already because I’m commenting before looking at the whole vid, but keeping your bike clean after and before trips helps you see any oil leaks or any other type of fluid leak’s and riding a clean bike is always nice.
I always kept my bikes clean, even between rides. But also wash my cars before and after trips. “Feels” like they run better when they are clean 😊. Hope you have the best time yet, Nick! Safe travels.
I think my bike gets "Washed" maybe 1 or 2 times a year. Most of the time I just use "Spray N Wipe" on the tins and chrome. I'm heading out on a trip Friday and looks like thunder storms the whole day. Defiantly not washing it before I go. Enjoy Tazwell and the Smokies! Ride safe!
I will use a spray detailer & microfiber to clean the bugs off the bike after a long ride, and wash & spray wax once a month or so during the Spring/Summer/Fall seasons, and that's it. Pre-trip? I'll just check the tires and maybe clean the windshield. She's gonna get covered in crap in an hour or two anyway, so the cleaning is done when I get home instead.
U always wonder why I detail my bike before a ride. 1 hour into the ride, it's covered in bugs. Lol To me, hopping on a crisp bike is like putting on a new suit.
That’s a good way to look at it. I make sure it’s cleaned up when I go to leave for a trip, but then yeah a little into the ride it’s got bugs or water spots from wet roads, etc.. lol. It’s a good point you make to take pride in what you have even if it’s to show for a couple min when bringing it out of the garage. 🙂🏍️👍
Thanks for sharing, and thanks for the shout can't wait 👍👍👍👍👍👍
