Yeah Amy, you are right. I was wishfully speaking. lol... One more reason why my bike won't get washed till after. lol.

 

I ride carrying gear for two for a week and still can carry clean supplies. A spray bottle of S100, a small bottle with some detailer in itand a few microfiber towels can get you thru a week.

 

I wash mine before I leave and a day or so after I get back. I have had bikes washed at the bike washes down there but they only do a so-so job cleaning it and don't dry it very good...so other than just seeing eye candy I don't use them much.

 

If it were just me, I could pack for 3 weeks in one saddle bag...however, the wife is coming with, so I get 3 cubic inces of space for everything in one saddle bag...

 

Just to clarify a little here. I don't actually "wash" my bike while I'm down there. I usually spend about 15 minutes with some quick detailer and some rags and she looks as good as ever. It's kind of a ritual I like to do every morning before I start riding for the day. Weird?? Probably but it's what I do... I just don't like riding a dirty bike around. Now if I get rained on...she's definitely getting a bath.

Anyway, I'll have plenty of stuff for a quick wipe-down if anybody is interested.

 

You guys can "quick detail" at the beach all you want, but not me. The bike sits around all day and night basically in the sand and then you go wiping on it.....Nothing but scratches are bound to be the result.....I have buddies that do the same ritual every morning. Their bikes look like crap in "the right light".

Sure, I said I carry some quick detailer. However, I only use it to get the water spots off right after a wash.

 

Geeeeezzzzzzzzzzzzzzz wash it when ya get home.

 

I just got done washing,waxing and detailing...lol....now if i can keep it clean till thursday

 

Sea Mist has a bike wash set up behind the motel.

I'll have plenty of stuff if you need it . I'm also at a house so you could wash it in the drive if needed.
