    Perhaps we should have a caption that reads my bike looks like this all the time and never gets washed, because if that is the case then mine would be a contender for first place. I would take a picture of it today after 170 miles of M25 and A1 but actually it is somewhat cleaner due to the rain we had!!!
    Bring on the salt.......

    PeterT that is almost a winner (not that its a contest) as that is just regular M25 day in day out use like KentBlades and a few others

    We should have asked Andy at Demon Tweaks for a mucoff prize for owner of filthiest bike

    And if you did use it your bike would RUST, 10x worse than any road salt that stuff!

    Well Gents, here's the rub, after posting pics of that clean HRC, it's the same bike that looked like a dirt bag in previous pics. The same bike that had a few OCDs spluttering about lack of care etc etc.

    Those pics were taken on the day, a few months ago I traded it in for a new one and scrubbed it up first.

    So for all the OCD boys that buy secondhand bikes, what you see is not what it always looked like, after the dealer got hold of it, it looked as good as a new bike.......and just think, your latest pride and joy might have been through my hands first :D

    As they say, not all that glitters is gold.
