Default A clean dirt bike?

I just got a pressure washer.




Now my bike is almost as clean as Deej's. Almost. How sad is that? lol




It took the ghetto mailbox numbers right off the front number plate, though. Gotta be care about that. hehe


After I washed my bike, I couldn't stop. I power washed the steps and the sidewalk, two rugs, and a pair of shoes. lol

Yeah, that's my bad. I was playing with camera settings tonight, got a little too much saturation, and when I backed it off in software, the orange wasn't quite orange any more.

I usually don't, but now that I have one ...

It really gets the mud off way better than the hose. It's pretty incredible. Next time, I might even add soap into the automatic mixer dispenser. Cleaning should not be this convenient. There's no stopping me now. Just stay away from seals and bearings. And race numbers.

The pressure washers are a must for dirt bikes. You'll never want to go without a pressure washer now that you have one. Enjoy!

+1 i used my uncles and couldnt believe how clean my bike was getting and how much fun i was having. you gotta be careful with what nozzle youre using to though... he took a bunch of paint off of his denali cus the tip he had on the washer was to tiny of a hole and the water was more like a liquid bullet
