Amazing what owning a Spyder will get you to do.

LOL, as I was washing mine, my wife says " while you have the hose out, clean my suv , its really dirty and then clean the house windows" . I went for a ride and did none of what she said! I am getting older and forget things sometimes. wink, wink.

You do realise that you are now in a whole heap of sh1t, Samson, and will be paying for that "mistake" for years? :yikes:

Since the Spyder won't go thru the automated car wash, I had to wash it at home with a garden hose and bucket, so while I was at it I washed the cars. I've lived in this house for almost 4 years now, and never washed my cars by hand.

You know, you're probably just making that assumption. I mean, have you even tried it? I doubt the Spyder would be any worse for wear, and your rain gear probably needs a good field test don't ya think?

Yup! Remember the Clint Eastwood movie "Any Which Way You Can? (or something like that)--the whole motorcycle gang drove through a car wash. Did not look like it hurt at all. :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

You just HAD to mention car washes!! :yikes:
Forget the movie: here's real life!! :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::clap:

It was funny, but not as funny as the watchers thought it was. IMO--maybe they were doing some wacky tabacky? :roflblack::roflblack:

EDIT on the washjobs. I broke down and hand washed/polished the 2014. I remember now that it was yellow and not adobe. :2thumbs:

You know what it is when you assume

As for rain gear; thank you for reminding me I need to get soe.

I gave the Spyder to my wife as a present. Now she has to wash it.:yes::yes::yes:

That doesn't work at our house. I ride more, thus my spyder gets dirtier than his (high winds with dust, road construction, afternoon showers, splashback from snow melt, etc.). I don't like washing it, and I can hold out longer than my husband. First time he notices that he thinks it needs a bath, he'll say something. I ignore it. The next time, he'll ask if I'm planning on washing it. I ignore it. Then he'll ask WHEN I'm going to wash it. I say I don't know. Eventually he'll wash it, and it's always a week or more before I would have broken down and done it myself.

The exception is when he's out of town or I ride through a bunch of grasshoppers or some other nasty bug guts infestation. Then I usually wash it the same day.
