I knew that; can you cope with all of the 400GB bikes by yourself though? Besides, 3 pairs of hands are better than one!

Please delete this post, my OCD for bike polishing makes me want to drive to your place and sort it out!
Pah, it actually gives someone with OCD a proper excuse to clean a bike so regularly.*

ive got a fair few trick bits that ive been wanting to fit for for a while now, (powder coated fork lowers, overhauled calipers, carb refresh kit) that ive simply not had the time to fit since taking a new apprentice job (workin six days a week mostly) so this could be right up my street.
plus, my NC30 is filthy at the minute, would love to see her OCD cleaned :-)

I drove two hours away last night to get some nice trick pipes for my latest project I got in at 9pm and got the pipes in to my garage. I then sprayed them heavily with wd40 and had a glass of wine and dinner with the family! I then snuck out and wiped the pipes down with scotchbrite, once clean I then gunkd them and left them another hour I then sprayed them with motorex protect and shine. I then used Johnsons baby lotion on the carbon cans which brings the weave back to life and stops the carbon going crispy once they were nice I sprayed them too with motorex!
Once done I placed them in the corner wrapped in a blanket awaiting to be cleaned properly!!
This is normal right!!!
