Back in the late '70s/early '80s, when I had my 750 Hondamatic, I rode that thing everywhere, unless it was raining. EVERY night, before I went home, I took it to the car wash, and cleaned it well. I'd be at the car wash for a couple of hours cleanin. Got harassed by Johnny law more than a few times for being there at 2-3 o'clock in the mernin. I kept it clean because it was really nice when I bought it, and I was proud of it. My 'Wing, on the other hand, is a work vehicle, basically. I keep it as clean as I can, because I do have SOME pride, but I can't keep it spotless all the time....just not feasible. Today I rode to werk in the rain....so it's pretty dang nasty right now. I had plans to tear the plastic off this weekend and give it a good douchin anyway, so....I figured nuttin frum nuttin leaves nuttin.... :hihihi:
