Clean bike, now rain!
I knew there was a reason why I seldom do a "deep cleaning" of the bike. Yesterday, I spent 5 hours cleaning and polishing the KawaTanker; took the windshield off and cleaned all the brackets and such. Now it looks like rain for the next week! So she sits in the garage all shiny and no where to go. :(" title="" border="0"/> :(" title="" border="0"/>

I'll be sure to clean it every week from now on Mr. Todd, so that it meets muster when you see it. I'll stop every 100 miles and clean it

Im just waiting for the weather to warm up so I can give mine a good bath. I already had the gas tank off and cleaned everything up really nice under there. Yep; Im kind of fussy about some stuff.

I on the other hand have a small heart slam full of compassion and a sluggish brain with a solutions to problems such as this. Guys need to have three wives. Wife #3 stays home, cleans house, bears and raises kids. #2 is educated with a nice income who may also bear children and from time to time help with house keeping. #1 would be the "Trophy Wife" that you take out for dinner or on bike rides or bike nights. That sort of thing. It just a WIN, WIN, WIN, WIN, WIN situation with no confusion.
