Always a labor of love though...I enjoy grabbing a rag (sometimes a toothbrush) and going over the bike...You’ve all done more than me. I cleaned my wheelsNot sure the previous owner ever did. The rear wheel still needs more love. Have to get it up on a jack to clean more. Last pic was taken pre-rear when clean

Car 36? That's a lot of cars....
For some reason I never got into cars/trucks....I do mod them a little while owning them but tend to own them for a long (er) time than most. The truck I had before this one I owned for 11 yrs and I've had this one for 6 so far with zero plans to replace it...
I kind of did the same thing with motorcycles only I never sold them so accumulated quite a few...it got to be a real hassle owning them all so I went down to just one....and I am glad I did that.
I had been mulling the idea lately of getting out of bikes and into a classic '50s or early '60s pick up truck-short bed, bubble fender sort of rig....or an early '60s Chev as I liked those alot as well...
Not just you, dust gets on the back rim each and every time I ride..I think the aerodynamics push it there...
It's all the pits in the casting, and peaks and valleys in the paint as result.
It's a rough finish that dirt sticks to easily.
Maybe, maybe not....it's getting so it's hard to enjoy a bike like the Hayabusa anymore...
With all the cops and rough roads and crappy weather, I get to wonder how much longer I can ride this thing and not be frustrated by it.
Here in the province I live, they changed the street racing laws, if you get caught going 40kms/hr over the limit of 80 kms/hr or below or going 50kms/hr in a 110 kms/hr zone, you get your vehicle impounded, your license taken and then off to court where you can lose your license for a year and up to a $10k fine...
As we know these bikes accelerate very, very quickly and going over these speeds is a very gentle flick of the wrist.
That’s what I thought too and then got the nice OZ piega wheels anodized black and still same problem. I think @Bumblebee is right, the air flow Draws it to the wheels.
What?
Did someone actually say I was right about something...?
I better go write this down in my diary....
It does, but some of the fancy waxes and coatings do help.
And I know that for a fact!
Because I've seen it on wheels from people who actually clean their bikes!
Me? I have no idea, I hate cleaning motorcycles, lmao!
No, just a typo, it's the on-set of old age old man...you better go get that checked out
You're probably that guy that hands out pencils for Halloween too....
I just coated the busa with that turtle wax brand ceramic wax, so we’ll see how dirty the wheels get.
They'll get dirty....I use wax on my rims and they get dust on them each and every ride...the front isn't so bad
The joys of motorcycle ownership I guess...
I just ride dirty...
