DAMN i wish people were as anal as me.

Had a 10mins job today of doing the cushdrive rubber 'fix'

While the wheel was out i noticed how much crap was on the back of swingarm and inside of it.... then i also noticed how much on the underneath of swingarm...

Carrying on around that, i noticed the shock linkages were barely existing and the mounts looked like a ball of chainlube... then onto the bottom of the shock, the back of swingarm between the shock/wheel and also the gear selector etc. The more i looked the more crap i found to get off there. Even the bottom of the shock spring was terrible.... Don't start me on the rear caliper mounting bracket or i may scream LOL.

I now dread to think how my previous bikes look after even a month of riding with the new owners... every bike i seem to buy has unacceptable levels of cleanliness for me.

Is it just me or is anyone else as bad ?
