I like it clean. I try to wash before most rides (guess I am a little vain). The pledge trick works great and I do that quite a bit inbetween washes.

Live to Ride. Not Live to polish.

 

Winter is for cleaning, spring, summer and fall are for riding. I'll clean it next February.

I'll take off the bugs, do the windshield, lights etc. Safety stuff. I'm not that bothered by dust.

I use the Prep and Shine.

 

I prefer my bike to be clean

 

I like it clean but bug splat is relentless, my Sportster was alot easier to keep clean

 

Cleaning is def for a cold or wet night after work. Hammer some brews and get a nice shine in the garage while dreaming of ridding thats the best thing next to actually ridding it.

 

I ride it to much to be cleaning all the time. Only the front after bug storms and if I ride in the rain

 

yeah.... I just cleaned my bike last week.... every 4-5 thousand miles, I hose it down, clean off the bugs etc.... maybe every 10k, I take the bags off and get behind them.... if I have nothing better to do....

 

Holyshit, it must take him a week to clean that thing.
