• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Best chamoi cloth available??

Plus 1 on the microfiber towels, I use the ones from Sam's Club. Then a little Bullet spray wax and you are good to go.
 
I drive mine off a cliff (like in Groundhog Day)

Then next morning wake up to Sonny & Cher on radio & nice clean bike in Carport

Me, I'm with the 'real' chamois group, altho I have been known to use a leaf blower to move the bulk of the water first - then the chamois, followed by 'spray on polish off' wax using a dry micro-fibre polishing cloth!! :thumbup:

But as a bit of an aside, it seems a lot of people have trouble with the word 'chamois' - they shouldn't, it's easy!! The animal, a Chamois (pronounced 'shammy') is (vaguely) related to a Sheep, & whether it's being used to describe the animal or the absorbent leather made from its skin, the word chamois is used exactly the same way as you use the word sheep! One sheep, three sheep, a whole mob of thousands of sheep, it's still the same spelling and pronunciation - same with chamois (the animal OR the leather/cloth); one chamois, three or four chamois, or thousands of chamois... still the same spelling & pronunciation! ;)
 
I don't use my leaf blower
I take it for a 70mph ride [more fun than leaf blower]
Then come home and if any water is left on bike [usually not]
I use a micro fiber
Big problem is it takes me about a half hour to wash the bike
and 3 or 4 hrs. to dry it :yes::yes::yes:
 
in googling around I found several sizes of chamois that were labeled as "real". They were all made of sheep skin even the ones from England. Is it possible to get "real" Chamois from a real Chamois or are they a thing of the past and only "close" sheep skin now taking it's place?
