yes but v-rod you ride a harley nuff said lol.i think after 27 yrs of jetwashing my bikes and never having a single problem it just tells me that all this "i spend about 5hrs with a toothbrush etc etc" is just that some people would rather be cleaning than riding.my trials bike gets a hammering with a jet wash everytime i ride it and again all over even the chain and wheels etc.because its the only way to get the feet thick mud,dirt,twigs,leaves etc off.and again never an issue.but to be honest everyone is different some like cleaning bikes and some dont.i hate cleaning bikes therefore its quickest and easiest for me as i prefer to ride it.if you enjoy cleaning then take your time and get your toothbrush out lol.i will think of you all when im riding and your in your garage wiv yah toofbrush and rags
