4.5 hrs cleaning and stuff, that's a proper job, especially if parking up for a while, 👍

Isn't it just! OriginallY I thought it was £80 for the valet and another for the ACF50 treatment, which I would have paid.

The pro cleaning didn't dislodge those unsightly yellow stains on the wheels, swingarm and rad guards :(

I tried yesterday but there is no way I can ride the MT-09 anymore. So it'll now be sold. Should things change I can of course always get another, but for now, there is no point in it sitting there costing money and returning nothing. I am so glad that, possibly the last bike I rode, was the MT. That really is going out on a high! 8-) :thumbup:

:( is the new knee not working properly TP? I thought you'd had the other one done - and that one didn't hold you back. It'll be the end of an era if you're not changing bikes like other people do socks!
