Ag sweet ....you can get some lekker tyres to kick up some more mud, I remember the hours spent after each ride cleaning my bike spotless and shiny when the bug bites it bites much harder than golf and costs a lot more, :thumbup: enjoy ..

I agree I was a golf nut even buit my own putting green in the garden, was a 6 handicap but then the bike bug bit and now thats all I do think I have played golf three time this year and my handicap has gone up to a 9. Got three bikes two mountain bikes and a road probably worth over R100 000.

You'll hear many differing opinions on bike cleaning, for the chain get a powerlink put on and then you can remove the chain say every 5 rides put it in a plastic bottle and shake it in some diesel/or other oil based like turps stay away from petrol and thinners this will save loads of time then dont forget to lube that topic can be as hot asthe 26 vs 29 topic baby steps..
