Well I said I need to wash / clean the Jade Lady after the Whiskey Run,  Embarrassed, as we ran into some wet roads, no rain thank goodness. Neverless she got dirty and need some TLC. Now to the point of this post. I hate cleaning wheels, mainly because I can not kneel down and will not sit down on wet surface.So, how do ypu clean wheels ????  My WIFE thru away a back scrubber and being a cheap sob, I got it out of the trash. The thing has a 16-18" handle with a nylon type ball on the end that cleans wheels with out getting down on the ground. This is for us OLD GUYS that has age problems of getting down low to the ground.
I don`t know if this will help anyone,,,, BUT ! Roll Eyes

Don....go down to a Dollar General and get a spray bottle of Totally Awsome rug cleaner....just spray this stuff on the wheel, don't worry about over spray its only a soap....use a brush on the wheel for heavy stuff and rinse off with water...this stuff works great...spray it on the engine and the area in front where the oil filter is, cleans the dirty right off and cost a buck or two....you mean to tell me you're just  now cleaning your bike from the Whiskey Run... Grin...just did mine this morning.... cooldude
