After doing a post earlyer about what to do to the bike after every outing it got me thinking and that takes some doing, what do other people do to their bikes between outings.Have you got a set routine you have to stick too, is there some thing you have to clean, an order you do things.

If you did not see the other post i have to Clean and re-oil my throttle every time. I can not go out into the shead to work on my bike without taking a big mug of coffee with me even if i am only going out there for 10 mins and i have to have the radio on.Sad i know.

Cheers Ralph.

put bike in garage after ride

next saturday fill with fuel check tire pressure spray chain wax

load bike drive to riding area ride 4 hours return home

repeat process

once a month i do check over bike and do whatever needs to be done. tranny, filter, check nut's bolt's etc.

i may actually wash it from time to time. my climate and riding area doesn't really mess up my bike or get it dirty really. mostly just dusty.

Back down shed, pump up tyres, start bike (Scorpa175 starts first time!!) ride back to house.

Hose wash bike, spray degreaser, wait 5mins, ask wife how long till dinner, she replys dinner in dog!!!

Pressure wash bike, ride back to shed, oil chain (chain saw oil), leave running on milk crate, check nuts bolts etc:

Switch off bike, back to house, wife locked herself in bedroon watching telly!!!!!!!

Drive car to local corner shop, buy over priced anniversary card & flowers, drive home, book resturant on mobile,
