Cool misty day here in Virginia, my plate was fairly empty so I spent some enjoyable hours in the garage with some Mother's aluminum polish, Maguires paste wax, chrome polish, leather conditioner, and a s(*&tpot full of microfiber rags. CD's by Randy Travis, Righteous Brothers, Paul Thorn, and Rolling Stones had the dust blown off of them and ran though the player. I managed to get the two I have been riding the most as of late done, my knock around 1974 CB750 and the 67 Triumph T100C. Both had been uncovered for a couple weeks, and even though stored in the garage, they were literally covered in green pollen which is normal here in early Spring. IMHO there is nothing more relaxing than spending time making a bike shine, just down right satisfying. Oh I know they are some that say bikes should be ridden rather than polished, (damn BMW riders mostly), but a fair mixture of both is what I enjoy. Though my many years of two wheel ownership, there have been some real nice bikes and a fair number, lets say, that didn't get an invite to the prom, but all were kept clean regardless. Had a damn nice day and still have a few more to do......
