How often do you wash your bike(s)?

[miserycaptain]

I wipe it down after every ride, more or less. But detailing, maybe twice a month.

Never wash though, not with a hose.

+1 No water!

 

[BUSANAS]

I really don't wash the bike; I keep it wiped down....

x2, no real need to wash it with water unless you get caught in some nasty rain storm with a little mud and crud...bud

HONDA polish is the best stuff on earth!

 

[big coop]

Mostly at the beginning of a ride after the ride before that one. I wax-it after ever wash.

 

[slep_rock]

i wipe it down before going on group rides; of course after being caught in a downpour; and after night rides (hate the bug look)

 

[sessions]

Same here

 

[yjblitz]

I wash it every week end w/ hose and honda spray

 

[Ezduzit]

Why not use a hose?

 

[HillbillyTom]

I wash mine with the hose and a bucket of soapy water every few rides. "Wiping it down" would be a joke around here. By the time a 100 miles goes by, there is a pretty good coating of bug guts on the front. By the time you get home, that stuff has dried, and takes something a little more substantial than a damp rag to get it off.

 

[Busa1166]

I clean it when it's dirty usually dirty after getting rains or riding on wet streets

 

[majestic12]

I have to wash mine. That is the only way to get the bug guts off. I think they are attracted to the blue, or they just can't get out of the way.

+3.. Honda Spray Polish "wash" before each ride, love that new bike smell!! I've always got it on hand.

 

[214 Busa]

wash every weekend & wax 2x a month

 

[cipher5791]

What's with the no hose rule.

I wash mine like I do the car, with soap and water. Then I blow it dry with my black and decker leaf blower. Gets ride of the water spots. Don't have time to wipe down before and after every ride. My sign to wash is usually when my chrome rims get alot of brake dust build up.

 

[Vitaum]

I wash only after a ride under rain. I think that water and steel don't combine....hehehe

 

[dadofthree]

Hose er down when she needs it

Well, if you count a complete rub down in Honda Polish, then yeah about once a week (depends on whether or not the weather has been fit for riding).
