Thats the truth, I've done it before and it cost me a nice set of etching on my Vance Hines pipes so I switched to the Air Force drier and that problem is solved.

Ride in the Puget Sound area. Rain at 60MPH will get everywhere. Lite pressure washing never hurt any vehicle.

You guys wash your own bikes? I always get the old lady to do it, I'll have to ask her what she uses.

It seems that whenever my bike get dirty, mother nature steps in and washs it for me, therefore, I use rain, the natural cleanser
