post ride wipe downs with maguires detailer. after rain runs, turtle wax car wash. and then usually, only the stuff below the tank. mothers rim polish on the classic wheels. semichrome on most other shiny bits.
most times cleaning is more a process of dusting then grime removal.
careful with simply green. hear tell that liberal use pots metal. when you must, rinse profusly with high pressure (city water turned full bore and narrowed stream, NOT pressure washer or car wash), then rinse again.
Riding in the rain is a beautiful way to rinse the top side then when on the side stand, wipe down with a towel. Next morn use the turtle wax wash solution on the pipes and fenders, then blow it off when ya ride to work.
cages suck. motorsickles are nirvana minus kurtsshotgun.
