moose bash plate question

[PEDRO.VALDES@COULTER.COM]

Good! I get mine so dirty you could plant trees and hedges on it, yet I take it apart to clean it to show room condition and when not ridden it sits in my air-conditioned garage gleaming until the next ride. I do enjoy having a clean bike and I do enjoy mucking it up.

It's not a Harley. They whole reason I bought mine and got rid of my Harley was so that I wouldn't feel guilty riding a dirty bike!

Not to mention the fact that dirt holds moisture, and thus can speed up the process of corrosion. But then, maybe riding on a paint-blistered, rust-bitten bike is worth the few minutes saved, or the image conveyed. Dreas
