Default I haven't...

washed my bike in almost two months. And I don't care that the rear whitewall isn't really white anymore. I may never wash it again.

My bike is a rolling dirt clod right now...gonna change today though, going in for service and injectors and they always wash the bike before returning it.

Yea I dont like them washing my bike.

They always miss stuff leave fingerprints and just generally do a half *** job.
You guys work on it,
I'll clean it and ride it.

I've seen the job they've done on my buddy's bike and they do it up right. It's one place I don't mind it...if I don't know em though, hands off.

If its a riding vs washing thing, riding wins everytime. I will take some time late at night to wash mine. Gives me an opportunity to hide from the wife and doesnt interfere with riding.
