Help me.....

[letmetalktomark]

....overcome my fear! :shock:

Since completing my first retro Bike

I have had the irrational fear of taking her out and getting her dirty..... :roll:

I don't want her to become a garage queen - She's not fancy enough for that

Perhaps I'll just wait until it dries up a bit

Help!

its difficult mate.........i feel your pain

i finished my first bike and took her out for a ride - felt like i was cheating on my modern ride!!

when i got back home the seals had gone on my hydraulics (damn shitty bike store) on my giant and it was leaking!! It looked like the giant was crying!!!!

get it over with and get outside!

 

[letmetalktomark]

The seals aren't brilliant on the forks - dont like the thought of her crying :shock:

Time to break out the blanket me thinks.........

 

[Err]

I've been waiting for it to dry up for three weeks. You might not get out at all if you follow that idea.

Ha the white bike syndrome.

I even have a damp jey cloth to remove the back dust that it attracts on a dry day.

can't take it to the grave with you, might as well use it.

I understand what your saying.

Now my RTS is how I want it spec wise, and after spending hours with brasso, I cant bear to get her dirty Sad......but true!

But hey, the joy of having a modern bike!

So now, if its wet and muddy = Avalanche, and if its dry and fast = RTS (and now LTS )

Win win situation

No Kona was ever meant to be a garage queen. Ride it.
