Ride, Wash & Brush-up

Out for a quick run today after the wind died down. Absolutely glorious, then home to give the old girl a wash & brush up. She's looking good in these pics after I've given her the full works, wash, wax & a rub over the non shiny bits with the Zebo! All nicely serviced & clean now & ready for the fun to start this year.

Ex.

Looking good there Mr Ex

Fancy a drag strip run when i get my 72 XLCH sorted ,i'll give that ole "Brit Cafe Racer wannabe" a couple of yards start

Does that Zebo work ok,i'll maybe try it on my Norton special,it has bare pipes, i usually wipe em over with old oil,that looks ok for a while ,but burns off after a few good runs.

Chill

Mornin' Chill,

Zebo is great stuff, use it on the exhausts, & the black wrinkle-finish parts. There is some burning off on the pipes on start up, but the finish remains & lasts a good long while. I leave it matt-black, but you can also 'buff-up' to a shine if you want. See you at Mallory??
Cheers
Ex.
