I had to wash the bike, it was truly awfull, nearly 2500 miles through winter has left it's mark on my once gleaming white paint work. The rear gold wheel was indeed black through chain dirt and having new tyres fitted before chrissy. But as a treat to the old girl i gave her an oil change also which resulted in freeing up some more power!!! After 4 hours of tedius cleaning she is like new again. So hopefully i won't have to do it again until june.
Rob, no i have not got my bl**dy envy stand yet and the excusses they give are truly a joke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ben i ride my bike and enjoy it but not cleaning it.
