Shiny vs Filthy

[bri h]

I saw a chap arrive at loomies on a beautiful brand spanking new ducati. he got off the bike and examined it carefully and became distraught when he dicovered stone chips and dirt. It was the first time he had ridden it on the road and was close to tears. At the time i thought if its goin to upset you that much then leave it in your living room. The point is fazers are do it all bikes that we buy because we use them not just to look at. I can only afford one bike so i cant have one to look at and one to ride so i ride whenever i have to or can be arsed to dress in all the layers.The fact is once im on the bike im happy.So it dont realy enjoy cleaning it and probably dont do so as often as i should.
