Yeah, it's what we do to our bikes here in this country. As I understand it, cleaning is a waste of time on roads in the UK because of their condition.



that's pretty much nailed it in one there lol - I love cleaning the bike and making sure every inch is as clean as i can get it but it really is a bit of a waste of time for all round riders in the UK, as you take it out the next day and bosh, its dirtier than it was before you cleaned it yesterday

i still wonder how the 20,000 bikers that grace the mayday run in hastings manage to have immaculate bikes when they get down there

thanks for all your suggestions so far - i will be trying and testing over the next few days, see if any or all of them work for me
