Then you are doing it wrong. It takes me much less time to clean my Speedy than it did my fully faired bikes.

Soft rag for the normal parts with quality car soap, Simple Green sprayed all over the naked bits, then rinsed clean with hose FTW. After my final rinse, I take the leaf blower to the bike and blow dry it. Clean and lube the chain and some spray polish on the painted parts and she's ready to go.

Any time I can find a reason to use a power tool I embrace the opportunity.

Yeah, because reviews are the Gospel.

According to the review written in Dirtbike magazine my WR250R is about the worst piece of shit out there. I, along with many, many others happen to think it's the best damn thing available on two wheels right now. whatareyagonnado?

Good. Almost everything that gets shitty reviews I like.

Movies
Cars
Food
etc.

Screw critics. I can make my own choices.
