One wheel. I didn't write that very clearly. Sitting on the ground in front of me, it takes 30 minutes to get around all the "spokes". And don't even get me started on cleaning the fins on the engine....

That brings up another question... HOW CLEAN DO YOU CLEAN IT? For me... Get the bug intestine and road grim off and I'm good. But it'll always look used... Wouldn't have it any other way

Cleaning it is getting the all the visible dirty, tar, bugs and other nasties off of it. And then polish.

I wipe the bugs off the flyscreen, lights, and mirrors all the time. I'll hose down any mud under the fender. That's not "cleaning". That's like doing your windows at a gas station. It makes it cleaner, but you didn't wash it.
