If you meant me... August would work.

Yes I was replying to you lol

As long as it's just good old dirt and not road salt/brine you should be ok. Salt/brine eats exposed steel, chrome and aluminum pretty badly.

My hat is off to some of you. I live in Michigan but am to lazy to ride in the winter. I also try not to ride in the rain. I suppose my bikes are more to clean than to ride....particularly in the winter!

I don't ride in the muck anymore. Used to. But I had to make sure I washed every nook and cranny afterwards, which when you're retired and can wake up whenever isn't hard to do :-) ...someday!

I plan on washing it Friday. It's supposed to get into the upper 50's

Saturday for me. Should be 75F and sunny.

I have been traveling a lot over the last few months and my CB11 is embarassingly dirty. I haven't given it a wash since I brought it back from Idaho last fall. There is still evidence of our off-pavement treks from the Rally back in August. Blush
