I LIKE THIS - justification for the very rare occurrence of a bath for my car (that hitch rack = manual bath). It does get maintained and tires rotated properly though...

My bike probably would like a nice bath though, and she will get one this weekend. My fitter/mechanic always tells me how clean she is but I know that is relative to many of the other bikes he sees.
