I understand the idea of a scott oiler that it virtually constantly washes the chain as compared to a low fling wax type lube that will hold dirt and use a s a grinding paste, which is why the need to regularly clean. But I just don't like the ugly cable ties and the oil up my side wall and over the swing arm and up my boots and down Sharp Halls sweeping driveway.   

Didn't have any boot problems. Nor anything noticeable on a garage floor.

Lol.    Good one.

Yes. I'm not a fan of washing the vehicles. Car used to be vacuumed inside, clean windows and lights, but the rest of the body - only when it rained.

As for (motor)bikes - clean chain, brake pads and disks/rims. Starts and ends there. With annual bearing service of the pushbike, and spring and autumn wash of the FZS - just to be able to spot any leaks - like you've noted.  :rollin
