    Bet that once you got on the road with hubby you were cooking! Oh wait, that was before the ride. <groan>

    I have to agree with Murienn, now I have heard it all too!

    Me, too! Heck, my roadie even came with one pre-installed. I like to take the chain off about once a month for a more thorough cleaning where I can leave the chain hanging out on the deck so it can dry properly. Otherwise, I clean my bike indoors. I live in an apartment with no yard so I don't really have a choice. I put down a mat made for the insides of a truck, basically, and clean on there. Cost me about $10.00 when I bought it. It goes in the back of my car when I haul my bike inside, too.
