Bike cleaning - All Year Biker

[Kwikasfuki]

All those chemicals just hosed into the next storm-water drain.
Do you guys ever think what that may do to the environment? >:(
I just use water and elbow grease to clean my bike. 8)

Lol. Remind me what bike you ride again?  ;D

Yes  it s a franchise.

They will come to you or you to them.

http://www.allyearbiker.co.uk/Booking.html  lets you search for a venue near your postcode.

I read about them in a post on here not so long ago.

What's that got to do with it?
Me riding a GTR doesn't justify others spilling hazardous chemicals now, or does it?
Or do you think that white stuff you can see on one of the pictures will just disappears once it runs into the storm-water drain down the road?
It probably doesn't do much harm if only one person does it, but what if everybody starts doing it?

What if everyone starts doing it? Is that supposed to be a serious question?   ::)

Yes. But I guess some people think they are the only people on the planet.

Actually  it went no where near the road  ( it went onto my gravel parking space) as I've got an arsey neighbour who thought I'd opened a car wash!

Now then how much carbon did  i emitt in cooking theys their bacon butties?

And the smoke from your GTR goes where exactly?
Do you think the grey stuff disappears harmlessly into the air?
Or do you class it as non hazardous?

But that still is no reason to spill toxic chemicals on top of that just to keep it clean!

Exactly that is why car washes are not allowed to let the run-off run into the storm-water system!
And do you really think that the stuff stays in your gravel and doesn't get washed into the surface- and/or ground-water table when it rains?
So when you change your oil, you just tip that onto the gravel as well?
Out of sight - out of mind?
Isn't it bad enough that we pollute the air with our bikes when we ride them?

I tried to host AllYearBiker last year. They didn't get any other bookings, so they had to cancel.

On the Versys forum AllYearBiker has been banned, even from being mentioned, but I've never found out why. I guess someone had a bad experience.

If anyone in the Midlands was interested though, I'd be interested in getting mine done.

I hosted an event last year and was very pleased with the results. It was quite a hike from Newbury to Dover and back and I got the impression he wasn't keen on doing it again!

I have just sent in another hosting request though just to see. I've got four bikes that need doing so at least that's a start.

There's one near work. I'm going to find out if he's got external lighting with a view to doing it after work.
He's going to have a job getting mine clean though.

[Kevin]

That was quick! I'm now hosting an event on the 23rd November. There's one space but I imagine the intersection of a) wanting to get your bike done by AYB, and b) happy to travel to near Dover on a weekday is rather small if not non-existent.

Edit: Place now filled.

I hope they have got a hammer and chisel oh and a blow torch might help, otherwise Dream on. ;D

[Martin#30]

I have to say they do a great job. My bike does not even come close to being pampered, but Nigel (newbury frachisee) gets it looking like a brand new bike each time. Takes him 3-4 hours each time mind.

Martin.

Had my bikes done a couple of months ago
