As a general rule I brush Boomer The FAST Black Valks teeth before and after each ride. Good Dental Hygiene is essential for good health over all. |

Talking about toothbrushes............we did a bit of storm dodging today. Comming home from Church there was a dark blanket of rain ahead. Here (sometimes) there is a line across the road on one side its dry and then you cross into a terrential downpour. When it starts like that it usually stops a short while later just as abruptly. So we turned off the main road, headed south and then west again to catch our road further south, we missed the rain but we obviously traveled where the rain just WAS.
So, we got home dry but the bike needed a bath, or well not a bath actually just a wipedown with a wet towel and a good toothbrushing.

If Honda wanted them dirty they'd have SHIPPED them that way?
I don't wash mine much either... I like my girls a little "dirty".

I wouldn't use a toothbrush it will scratch the finish use either a detail brush or a fairly soft natural bristle paint brush with the bristles cut down to say 1/4 to 1/2 inch for support. Doesn't scratch gets into some real tight cracks and yet doesn't take all day to get off the buildup. Awesome pics |
