i cant afford to let dirt eat away at my bike.. it only takes about 20 minutes to wash it and blow it dry with a leaf blower...

 

+1, I don't know why people equate a clean bike with not riding it, I ride every day and almost every time it rains all year long and you will rarely find it dirty.

I use a brush on a stick made for cleaning dishes, makes cleaning all the nooks and crannies easy and thorough, then I hit it with compressed air.

Harley has ONE thing above all other bikes, looks, keep it clean.

YYYYYUP since mid April I have over 5,000 km (and a lot of them days were spent in the garage with unseasonably low temps) so I do like to ride as well.. just when I'm done I try and give it a quick wipe to get the bug juice off and then once a month or so give it a real good cleanising, more often if I get rained on...

 

Now THAT is an AWESOME looking bike. Damn.

Took this one a few weeks ago under a highway overpass that had some graffiti...

 

I like the this pic with a little bit of the graffiti in the background.
I have no idea if this means anything to anyone, but what i do is I go to the local fabric store (By the way, want a good laugh, walk into a fabric store with a tank top and leather vest on with full sleeve tattoos and watch all the ladies just about crap themselves, funniest thing), look for Muslin material in an off white. I get it big enough to cover the entire garage, and as tall as possible. Then I go home and hang it up against the garage then depending on which way your garage sits (mine faces West) you (like someone already said) do not want direct sunlight, so I take my pics real early in the morning. my sig pic was taken this way. Just a note, by the way the muslin is cheap, maybe 30 to 50 bucks for a huge piece.

 

excellent pic

 

It was an informative article. Being patient with the lighting is what gets me every time.

 

now that I got my new pipes I need to update my sig before that horse ***** all over me

 

I don't know if it was that article or another one, but somewhere I read about taking pictures of small details instead of the whole bike. This is the only one I came up with that didn't have too much going on in the background.
