Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
Washed yesterdays bug harvest off it and gave it a good coat of wax.
Yesterday we had a good ride around the Yorkshire dales with lunch at a camp site near Muker, and a brief pit stop in Masham on the way home.
I might polish that exhaust one day

Managed to get the garage door open (wires snapped and it fell off its runners, the other week)wedged it open, got the bike out and went for a quick spin. Got rained on, dried out all in a space of a hour lol.
Gave the bike a good clean and valet. Happy Days.

Professionally or are you doing this yourself? I'd love to know which products are used

Professionally.
I've no idea what he's using. I've had to get back to work.
He's got a Facebook page

I didn't get to see what he was using. He even has the products in his van turned round so you can't see the labels. I did spot a couple of AutoBrite bottles

Full Chain and Sprocket change, I cant believe how much crud was around the front cog! I managed to get a free chain link tool with it (AFAM) I have to say once I checked the YouTube help video it was really easy to use.
As always I do enjoy cutting the old one off....

Went out for a little run, went through Windsor to filter through all the traffic
If anyone is wondering where all the motorcycle police are, well its Windsor, they were in packs of 6, everywhere, and at filling stations have a break.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
took me over two hours to jet wash 3 mx bikes, I still havent found a good cleaner that shifts mud but doesnt ruin parts
I need to invest in a petrol jetwash and do it at track but its more money and a big water tank to lug around !

Must be a moneyspinner for someone, right there ^ .
Franchising a steam cleaning setup to each & every popular MX track in the country....
Who wouldn't want to cough up (£10, say) to take home a clean machine so they can spend their 3hrs relaxing with a beer.
That's £10 x how many riders per day.??

Rode it to do a few errands. Got soaked.
Rode it to see my parents. Got further soaked.
Rode it home. Dried out.
