Yesterday was a wonderful day weather wise and the only thing I could manage to do was wash the bike one handed because I had surgery on my elbow 2 weeks ago to clean out scar tissue and repair ligaments damage. Hopefully I will be riding after May 19th. But is this what it feels like to think it is more important to clean your bike that ride? It sucks!

Hope that elbow heals up real quick so you can get out and ride. May 19th must feel like an eternity away! Good luck to ya.

I know exactly what you mean! and it sucks big time!! I am still waiting for this darn tail bone to heal up. We have our Annual NW RAT lunch today, and unfortunately I'll be in the car.

Sorry to hear your not riding. I'm only just getting back on the road after breaking the collar bone last August. Heal quick!

All the best

Take it easy and don't push it. You'll be back in the saddle soon enough. Plus this is just the ticket to make sure you clean every last inch of your bike without thinking you could be riding instead.

Nah, that's a feeling only posers get, no matter what brand they ride. You're doing it out of love for your bike, and as an alternative way to spend time with her (him?)

I hope you get back in the saddle and enjoy your clean bike soon.
