An old local mechanic go tme into the habit of cleaning my chain. if it was dirty/rusty he would yell at you, so I started doing it so I wouldnt get yelled at if nothing else. if I wasnt going on and off hte jobsites so much I wouldnt have to clean it as much.

Apparently there is also debate on chain cleaning too, but I do buy into not using too much lube as it can help collect dirt/debris if its realy globbed on there.
I clean and lube my chained bikes pretty regularly. My shit always look new, except when I buy a poorly maintained chain like what was on the DRZ. Damn Fatburg. LOL
