Bug Slide

I don't know man... I've been using http://www.nowet.com/ for YEARS and it provides a pretty unbeatable clean. It takes very little to get the job done. The tricky part is finding a place to get it.

You ride a GS now, we are going to have to wipe this clean shit from your memory banks. This word no longer exists for you.

Do you know who you're talking to? This woman is seriously OCD. Like, takes a toothbrush to nooks and crannies in motorcycle wheels OCD. I know - she kept my bike for me during my first deployment, and I got it back cleaner than when I first bought it.

I have a form of OCD, except it's called CDO.
You know, where the letters are in order like they're supposed to be.

My bad... I'm not OC...er, CDO like y'all are.

thanks. I've asked a few folks here (locally) if anyone had used it and no one had. wasn't sure if it would work. I'll give it a try this year. I hate cleaning bugs off mirrors and frame rails and gas tank etc.

Well now she needs to learn to OCD in the opposite direction, make sure all the nooks and crannies are dirty.

I helped with this last year: http://www.bmwmoa.org/rally10/events...anti_concourse

We had big yellow and red DISQUALIFICATION stickers that said: Disqualified, reason: TOO CLEAN. "A clean GS is a dirty shame"

It came in today, just got in from trying to clean the bike. It worked ok, but keep in mind I have nearly 1 year old bugs all over my bike. It took several applications, but did work better than Plexus. I still had to take some finish restorer to the bike to get rid of some of the bug stains, but that still didn't get them all. I'll have to let you all know how it works when trying to clean bugs that are a lot younger.

However, I've also had the mindset of "it's a dual sport, why clean it?"
