January 2, 201213 yr not meaning to sound rude but bikes are for riding , not polishing, if you have clean inner rims, there's something seriously wrong with you hmm, this sounds rude
January 4, 201213 yr Author i tend to agree with the riding bit but in this weather, your either going out getting it ''dirty'' therefore it will need cleaning or staying in to clean it. if you look after your bike it will look after you. plus if your gona spend the sort of money that ''goff'' has spent would that not make me an arse if i didnt keep it up. ''yam passola 50. for racing'' do you not clean and look after this. nuff said
January 4, 201213 yr I agree that if you look after your bike it will look after you but any longer than an hour and a half of cleaning a bike is stupid! my bike is now Matt black (o and two other kinds of black) so all i do is wash of the dead bugs followed by a shammy ended with a spray of WD40 and GT85 for that loverly smell i like to call ouder la garage.
January 9, 201213 yr Cleaning equipment: Bog brush Engine degreaser Hosepipe Cleaning method: Spray bike with hose Poke with degreaser-soaked bog brush in nooks and crannies Wave bog brush over areas likely to get caked ('zorst, swingarm etc) Rinse with hose Time taken - about 10 minutes for a deep clean. Pre-winter - spray & wipe with ACF50 Most importantly, ride a bike, not a work of art or you'll be forever paranoid about stone chips, tar spots, bird crap etc..
January 9, 201213 yr This bike reminds me of Elvira! Steady on fella, watch your blood pressure! I'm not really comfortable with having a befanged, bloody mouth so close to the Gentleman's Department - bit distracting doncha know!
January 9, 201213 yr In the words on Lord flash heart!.......................WOOF WOOF!!!!!! Baldrick...........................Bark
January 9, 201213 yr Steady on fella, watch your blood pressure! No, no, no.... That Elvira you posted = Wrong one. Elvira was the legendary and gorgeous 650 Dragstar owned by Goff, one of our erstwhile Administrators of the forum here. Unfortunately, she sold it and upgraded to the 950 and we haven't seen either of these ladies since. Even the photos have vanished now... But she was awesome (and the bike was damn amazing, too). I know which Elvira I'd rather ride....
January 9, 201213 yr maybe somewhere in this post it's mentioned that this bike , is one and the same ride. keep up ttasky.
January 10, 201213 yr Ohhhhh yeah..... There is a vague reference from Vampiro to Goff (how dare you spell her name with a lower class G ) , but I hadn't made that tenuous link and twigged that it was the same bike. Since Goff's photos of Elvira are no longer around, I had to compare the two and thus remained untwigged.
January 15, 201213 yr Author it is the same, need very little tlc (im on with it) change a couple of things but it was 'G'offs lol
