Frankly I’m amazed you let me join….

Post by sevenfourate »

Hi All; back on 2-wheels after 6 (?) years or so without. Really enjoyed the little 390 Duke this Summer. And the Global warming…….

Thanks for letting me in - banter looks amusing 😉

I’d like to tell you I planned / prepped for those pics. But alas: it’s always kept that way.

I have ‘issues’…….😳

It's either going to be a massive bromance or WW3 between the clean freaks.

Ha ! Yea I’m a detailing freak.

But; There’s nearly clean; and there’s really clean……😉

Not unknown to spend 20-25 hours on the outside of a car - and 40-50 hours all in for a full job.

**Here’s some of my work….

Why-so.....what you into 'cleaning' ?

I'm not into cars that much really. I just enjoy the solitude, time alone, process of Detailing and improving something.

I carry that across to lots of things. Just thought cars made better mainstream viewing.........

If you ever fancy some extra solitude you can spend some time on my drive...bring your cleaning and detailing kit. :thumbup: :D

I'm almost embarrassed to post here cos, well, I hate cleaning bikes! Cars get 'done' with a jet wash to keep the salt off them in the winter :1 :1

But, I do so miss having a 390 Duke!!! Awesome piece of kit :D :D

When I got my first big bike a mate said "bring it round on bank holiday and we can clean both the bikes" I had to reply with "I'll be out riding" :lol: :lol: :lol:
