Continuing - So what did you do to your bike today...?

Yeah, that was for you Dave! 

Lucky we're all aging & can't see so good anymore - we'll never notice them, well, I can't see them anyway.

What's the best stuff to polish them with?

I cleaned and oiled the chain, checked the tyre pressures, checked the lights, waxed the paintwork all ready to ride today.
Then I thought f**k it, I can't be bothered to do battle with the hypertards on the roads, so I walked to work instead.   
In fact I'm thinking of giving up riding all together.
Being assaulted on the road isn't occasional, it's EVERY BLOODY TIME I go out, sick of it and sick of moaning about it.

Rant over, have a nice day y'all

I looked at mine as I walked past it, pissed rain all night and was blowing a gale, so I drove my wife to work , came home watched an episode of SOA, then went and had a massage.
Came home, had some lamb sandwiches and watched two more eps before picking Liz up from work.
Went to karate, sweated buckets, and looked at the bike again when I got home.
If all goes to plan I'll ride her on Saturday.

[Red Biker]

Yeah lot of work there MRG!

In my opinion, Meguairs NXT All Metal Polish - its non-abrasive

well i am looking at ten weeks only because of the gear being sent to the crome guy but ive done the wheels and the huger and disc front and rear.  the main time now spent on the bolts and engine so id like it to be on the road looking good for the end of may or first week in June 

[Red Biker]

Good luck with it, get some pics up when you get chance 👍
