Getting into those hard to reach places...

Post by coetzee.kruger »

Gave her a proper spit and polish this afternoon. Had to seek out all those little spots and get her shining!! Even have the rims shining now!!

After all, she deserves the TLC ;)

WOW! Mine will come out of hibernation at some point, and will need a similar treatment. That HAD to take few hours... Very nice job.
On my scoot, getting there is WAY more than half the fun!
