Nothing wrong, dumb, or gay about wanting the scoot to be lookin' sharp. I put on plenty of miles, doesn't take much to show pride in what I ride. How many of the anti-clean crowd have black primer covering plastic, and rust showing on the few steel bits? At a gathering, do you guys rave about the level of crud on the bikes around you, or gravitate towards the sharper looking rides, like other normal beings? Like every set of wheels I've ever owned, Frank runs better after a few hours of TLC.
