Re: What did you do today?
If it’s really manky after rain/dirty roads then it’s snow foam and a very careful, low power, pressure wash. Hose off, and hot air blower to dry it off.Panman40 wrote: Wed May 21, 2025 6:30 pm Washed the RT yesterday…. 3 hrs or almost, I know I’ve said it before but I hate washing this bike!. I’m at the point of using snow foam and a pressure washer.
What system do you guys use when washing ?.
Martin, I agree, it’s a pain to wash.

Re: What did you do today?
Finally got round to fitting the new face to my 1964 lambretta winter model speedo.
You cannot buy these speedo's,rare as hens teeth(for the Spanish Winter model)So a kind friend offered to replicate as best he could(very much an enthusiast)and I think he's done a decent job

My 1995 Mustang GT 5.0 was MOT'd today without any problems.
Next year it will have historic status (30+ years) and insurance will be about 35,- euros per year and there will no longer be any road tax.
