How often do you detail your monster?

[El Matador]

Wash it once a week, detail it once a month. 

My bike also get ridden about 2-300 miles a week

I wash my bike every now and then, but wipe it down with a soft cotton towel every few days.

Until fairly recently, I ride every day year round.  It's my principle means of conveyance. When you ride every day, it's a little harder to keep up with cleaning.

I've been recouping from hip surgery and am now able to get around so I may do the all day detail you speak of.  Takes a lot longer than washing a big truck or car.

I wipe the wheels off every time I change a tire.  And around the drain plug and filter when I change the oil.

Is that you Billy Mays?   What are you talking about?   I wipe off the wheel whenever I put a new tire on.   That's it.   Whenever I change the oil, I wipe around the drain plug and filter, to keep the dirt away from the holes.    Seems pretty clear to me.   I don't clean my bike.   I'm working on a ratbike project.

im talking about exactly what your talking about. I like it. Why bother breaking your back cleaning your bike, just do it when you need to service it.

[turbowagon]

I clean the chain before every ride and only wash her once a year.

[duckb0y]

Wash after the bugs get thick, probably every 400 miles.  Takes maybe 30 mins.  I only "detailed" it right after I got it.  That included a toothbrush and some WD-40.  Never again.

5-10 min after every ride to remove bugs and quick clean

[DarkStaR]

wipe it down every so often.

never washed or detailed it.
