i have washed my bike a total of 1 time with water/soap since i got it over a year ago. And that was only because it was absolutely POURING on me the whole way home the day that i picked it up from the sellers house, it sucked......

Other than that 1 time, I use mothers Showtime spray about 1-2 times a week to keep it from even getting 'dusty'. Luckily i like washing it and my driving conditions never allow it to get too dirty (no rain, wet pavement, always garaged).

Bought my girlfriends bike yesterday and washed it with soap/water/bucket because it was sitting outside for 3 weeks without a cover and needed all the dust/dirt flushed out of the cracks. But again it was just a bucket of soapy water and a cotton towel...no hose and no pressure washing. Wont see water again for a long time.


Am I weird? probably, but i have 2 immaculate bikes.
