He'll be replacing chains & bearings at a record rate, and doG forbid if he ever needs to pull the motor -- the motor and swingarm bolts will be completely rusted in place.

I tend to agree with Al. Even though many, many people pressure wash their bikes, I cringe when I see it. Personally, I use Simple Green and the garden hose and a gentle scrubbing with a brush on the tough bits.
As they say, YMMV.

I pressure wash my bike all the time. I'm just careful around motor, steering, swingarm and wheel bearings.
Re: Lafferty Dirt Class, Saturday 11/8
I just keep buying bikes, so I don't have to keep them that clean.

Mike is scoping out a KTM enduro bike like gtop's for me that is for sale in Oakland, Md. There is also an FI Husqvarna 510 for sale in Leesburg. I had a buyer for my Ducati, but he may have bailed. That is holding things up at the moment.
