What did you do to your bike today?

[Deleted member 651465]

I wanted to wash it and have a blast whilst the other half is out, but I'm sure I've got a gypsy curse on me because it always rains the day after I wash it, no matter what the weather report says

My bike is the filthiest any of my bikes have ever been but I cba doing it on a Sunday when I've worked 78 hours this week.

Same! Half the time I'd rather pay someone else to do a proper job of it! Sod's law says it always rains the day after you wash it anyway. ACF-50 is the answer to that too

Now, can you believe it that some actually enjoy cleaning and working on their bikes? I always found it to be a torture, end effects make up for it though.

 

[tom_e]

I love tinkering with mine, I'd rather someone else could clean it though!

 

[TallPaul_S]

I enjoy washing my bike, but only when they're fairly clean to start with - when they're covered in crap that's when it's a chore.

 

[Captain]

I don't mind cleaning mine either.

 

[MowyTone]

When you have a nice, unblemished, unrusted, well treated machine it's a pleasure to clean. Cleaning mine is just a reminder of all the scars it's carrying

 

[The_Abyss]

I get no real enjoyment from cleaning my bike, and do it as little as possible. I do find it useful every now and then though, as it allows a close visual inspection.

 

[Fireskull]

I clean mine once or twice a year now....!

Treated the old girl to some new oil and filter yesterday

 

[IC3]

Managed to get the bike to turn over, but the battery died... Will retry tomorrow. I need to make sure its running, before I sell it for pennies as a non runner.

Wow, that's in pretty good shape considering it was a decent accident.

Yeah, I wish it was the other way round though... Left side is pretty badly battered, but like I said I wasn't going fast, just a crap road and badluck.

That looks very fixable to me tbh.

150 quid is all, new wheels or get these refurbished, new controls on the right, new throttle tube+grips and some alignment to do and that's it.

So what's stopping you? Risk? Tainted bike?

I'm not fit enough to carry the work out on it myself, today I got a hand from my dad as he was interested whenever the bike will turn. I would need to buy stands and a few tools to do it, I cba. I have a price in my mind that I want, if I get it I'll sell it for that amount.

Fired it up first time since the crash I missed that noise
