  • Natures free paintjob

    Well spring has finally arrived here in Denmark and I thought it's time to polish the black ironhorse. So I used around two hours cleaning with soap, applying the liquid wax and so forth. I go inside to put on the leathers and boots, and when i get outside my bike is yellow!!!
    Polishing while having the bike parked under trees just loaded with pollen just isn't worth it, and trust me yellow dosn't fit the XS.

    If you parked under trees, then pollen is not the worst thing that could have gotten on it. Them birds can be pretty bad too!!

      The worst of the birds were the seagulls down in Orlando, Florida. If you are walking down a sidewalk and pass under a powerline.... the level of the sidewalk rises from the buildup.

      You don't have to park under a tree.... those suckers will find you and divebomb you. LOL
