Cleaning the summers riding gunk off.

Polishing all the chrome and aluminum.

Making sure those little pin pricks on the chrome are cleaned away. So clean you can rub your fingertips over the metal and it's as smooth as a babies butt. Exhausts o polished NASA could use them as a reflector in the Hubble.

Putting a protective polish coat on the paintwork.

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

That's all we do in north GA

Then we go ride.   Evil

Since we don't have winter in Texas, our bikes get pretty gritty. Cheesy

Good to see you back, Britman.

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebars to the saddle.
