Moderator drewpy Posted December 27, 2011 Moderator Posted December 27, 2011 haha, this one is from this afternoon
VAMPIRO Posted January 2, 2012 Author Posted January 2, 2012 cheers, being stripped down at the mo for deep clean and touch up
up.yours Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 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
VAMPIRO Posted January 4, 2012 Author Posted January 4, 2012 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
Noise Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 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.
KirriePete Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 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..
KirriePete Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 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!
Noise Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 In the words on Lord flash heart!.......................WOOF WOOF!!!!!! Baldrick...........................Bark
Ttaskmaster Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 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....
up.yours Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 maybe somewhere in this post it's mentioned that this bike , is one and the same ride. keep up ttasky.
Ttaskmaster Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 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.
VAMPIRO Posted January 15, 2012 Author Posted January 15, 2012 it is the same, need very little tlc (im on with it) change a couple of things but it was 'G'offs lol
