I know my bike is always dirty. Think about it...usually your wheelwells gather most of the dirt off the tires...there are no wheelwells so it gathers on ur engine and other parts. Plus if ur as obsessive about your bike as me...you notice even the smallest speck  :thumb:

Don't wash it.  Ride it. If you ride often enough the dust will never settle on it.

I just cleaned years worth of grime off the rims< I didn't realize they were actually white under all that.  I'm doing a 100 mile ride today.  I'll report back later.
