So it's glorious sunshine for the last 2 days, its the weekend, and I have to go to work.
The bike is visible from my office window, and its FILTHY !! The sun is not so much glinting off it as being absorbed into the layers of kack covering it.
I resolve to clean it so I can make myself feel Ive at least done SOMETHING with the bike this weekend other that just go to work on it.
It's covered in kack coz I lathered it at the start of the winter with acf50 and havent touched it since.
So I spend 2 hours cleaning it. And it's glinting. Glinting in all the glorious sunshine.
.... and Im wondering why the heck I bothered Coz now every little mark is going to show up, make it look dirty again, take the sheen off it.
And it also occured to me that the layers of kack and goo I took off were probably providing a nice protective layer against rust and the elements along with making the bike look 'hard'
So why do we bother ???
Oh noooooooo, IVe just seen a bit I missed - where'd I put the wd40???
