who keeps their bike clean ?

I get asked all the time "how long does it take to clean/polish it?"
I clean it after every ride. Keeping it clean is a lot easier than only doing it every now and then.
Once its cooled down...say 30 mins, i give it a wipe over with detail cleaner and put the cover on. Done.
People who say "you mustn't ride very much" and have dirty bikes, in my opinion are just lazy.
Its not that hard too keep them clean.

I like it clean too.

No need to clean guns after shooting every time unless you are using corrosive ammo. My carry and home defense guns are always clean, my range toys go several trips between cleaning.

I keep my guns clean to a "gunstore display" level at all times.
I keep my motorcycle clean to a "showroom" level at all times after riding. It is just plain easier to do this than to try to play "catch up" once the dirt gets ahold of a bike.

I agree, it doesn't take all that long to keep them clean if you keep them clean.

When I was deployed my M-16 was cleaned every morning because I had to get the sand out of it so I could rely on it, and I was living in a filthy environment.
When I was an LEO I would take apart my duty gun and wipe every thing down once a week (unless it was exposed to excessive dirt, water etc...).
My range guns that get maybe 50-100 rounds put through them each session don't need to be cleaned every trip (unless you are shooting corrosive ammo).

S.D.M.F. That is a beautiful bike. I love that classic look and all the chrome.
I love to polish on my bike and like it to always be clean and ready to ride. I use Cycle Care Formula 33 after every ride. Easy to use with a micro fiber cloth on paint, plastic and chrome.
Yesterday I removed the side covers and cleaned both sides throughly and the bike parts under the covers. I am always amazed at how dirty it gets under those covers. Next time I will clean under the motor and frame expose don't to the road.
