Bike Wash

I couldn't take looking at my Nomad wearing such nicely pressed silk shirts so today I took it to task.

Stripping seats, windshield, saddlebags off and actually put soap water on the bike for the 2nd time I've owned it. Riding in the rain doesn't count! ;)

After putting some turtle wax soap in the bucket I used a very deep very soft bristle brush and hit every nook and cranny and cylinder fin, cast wheel, pipes everything. Even underneath.

Then I pulled out my 2 gallon bug sprayer (cleaned) and put de-mineralized water in it and rinsed it very lightly until all the soap was off.

Then, took my leaf blower and blew 200mph wind on every inch and got it all dry without touching it. She's all purdy again!!!
