    An example of a CLEAN motor:

    That would be doubleblue's bike, one of my favorites.

          Sorry, I need to disqualify any motors that were silver and now painted black. Trevor and Bruce get my votes.

            Geez Bruce, you missed getting mud on a couple of the carb bowls! Sure looks like you would have gotten a bit wet.

                  Does it count if the pic was taken in 1977? Didn't think so.

                    Please let us know how it works....it looks suspiciously similar to a Spinbrush sonic toothbrush, done in industrial yellow.

                      I used it today and it works great used it on my rims but it works awesome on hard to scrub parts on the engine where you can't get chubby fingers. $20. plus another $10 for more attachments. It was a rainy day here in Victoria so I spent the afternoon in my garage cleaning up the bike.

                        Considering that you actually ride your bike, and often . it looks like new! Hard to believe that it leaves the garage.

                              Thank you very much. I get almost as much out of cleaning my bike as I do out of riding it!
