Have you no pride? J/K, it's all good. You would never see my bike like that. There was this one day, before a group ride, a buddy and I went to get something before we all met up at my house. On the way back, he showed me this shortcut that had a couple nice bends. A backroad, nothing crazy. So my dumb ass speeds up to take this nice left bend. What do I see?? A fucking stream of water running right through the middle of it! Just a little 2 foot wide stream. I'm leaned over a little bit and I know if I kept on, I would've lowsided easily. There wasn't a curb to the right, so I straighten up and go off road. Off road was where the puddle from the stream was. I go straight through it. I didn't wreck, but my bike was COVERED in mud. I get home and everyone is finally there. I made them wait 45 minutes until I detailed my bike and got all that shit off there. I hate it when my bike's dirty, that's just me...

Exactly. If that shit is beat up and in the shape a 16 year old bike SHOULD be...I'd be scoring about a grand for it.

mechanically sound is top priority in my book, looks come in second, spotless is impossible seeing as how we dont have a garage yet

If I kept my bike that shiny clean, I'd never have time to ride.
Being a DD and working 12 hour days... i'd rather ride.

Not saying it's filthy... but by no means could it roll onto a showfloor!

It literally takes me 5-10 minutes to wipe it down with a quick detailer and a real nice $5 terry cloth. Ocasionally I'll use Plexus to finish. Shit looks tip-top.
