Shiny!!?!!

[scootnwinn]

Ok so I was thinking about this today as I was lovingly wiping the rain spots off the windshield this evening. When I got my first motorcycle my dad handed me a can of Honda Spray Cleaner and Polish. He said motorcycles should never be dirty and that shiny well cleaned bikes were safer than dirty bikes. He said that taking the time to keep your bike shiny was extremely important. I clean mine almost daily with a touch up cleaner, spray on wipe off, and then deep cleaning every week and waxing once a month. There are lots of benefits to touching every part of your bike often even if it does make the old lady jealous. We often say keep the shiny side up but I say make sure you have a shiny side (and I mean SHINY!). It just might help you to notice something that would put your shiny side down... Be good now. And so do I have OCD? or do all of you like polishing and detailing too?
