I think Dan Connor is trying to be funny... First, he included information that was clearly not in the original post. Then he goes on to imply that there will be clean and shiny bikes at the rally? Dan, you will see lots of people doing lots of stuff, but I don't remember anybody cleaning their bikes...
Guilty here... I cleaned mine in front of my room. Came up 27 and must have had 5 pounds of dead bugs on my bike.
