FYI Be careful with that. I used to use one all the time and wrecked parts of a bike. Water was getting in past seals and such. I even wrecked a chain that way without realizing it!

I've washed enough bikes with a power washer to know where not to bet really close with the sprayer. I worked for the highest volume discounter, people drove hundreds of miles for the deals they were giving.

ZEP usually has some good products but the stuff the last shop got didn't work anywhere near as good as Simple Green.

RS Taichi is good stuff, although a lot of it isn't actually made in Japan, some is made in China which was ok, but their old EVO jacket was made in Korea and it was just average IMO.

I kinda dig the white jacket. The threat title reminded me of this though

hahahaha. I'll probably do that for a long time now.

Something one of my friends does: When you tell a story, if he doesn't know the person you are talking about, he imagines someone he knows or a celebrity with that person's name and puts them in the place so he can make a visual image of it.

I've done it a few times and its hilarious.

I dig the white jackets but with all the bugs around here, they'd be hell to keep clean and I'd get frustrated trying to. Even bugs on my black jackets are a PITA.
