    Riding bikes and having fun is the point. Working on them and making them look pretty, not so much. My ugly bike is just as much fun to ride as all of your pretty ones.

    Depends on what floats your boat. I used to HATE working on bikes!! And I never, ever washed a racebike in years of riding them. Filthy, unrepaired damage, held together with duct tape and cable ties - all good.

    But lately I've actually really been enjoying mechanical work, performance tuning and yes, making them look pretty! Although if I'm honest, I still very rarely wash them Some habits don't change.

    I like the mechanical side I just can't motivate myself to sit down and sand fairings back and repair fibreglass and the rest. It's so low down my list of priorities haha

    In saying that one day I'll set aside aside a day and do them all at once. Just got to find a day I don't have anything on. 2024 perhaps.

    Let me know when your fiber glassing day/year is ... I'll drop off a few of mine for you to touch up too.

    +1. I find it's easier to just buy a new set
