I am officially legal.  My MSF is still coming up in 10 days, but I have the little 'M' on my license now.   :D

My bike has 500 miles on it now, time for its first service.  It has a lot of bugs on it too from lots of evening riding; how do you wash a motorcycle?  I don't want to accidentally fill the air box with water from the hose or something...

People tend to think there is some danger to washing a motorcycle; there isn't. Remember, you can ride it in the driving rain all day long and it's fine. Just don't shoot a strong jet of water at something that wouldn't normally be exposed to it. Like the air intake, ignition, gauge cluster, etc.  Other than that, just wash it as normal.

LOL ouch.  Pretty sure my wife would not enjoy that.   :o  Thanks for the tip, I'll wash it in my driveway this weekend.
