And the whole reason I was reading this thread...

I washed it today, although you can't tell. Thanks winter! Also replaced a fog lights bulb. This time I took the skid plate off. Much more room and much easier on my hands.

Well since I took a detour on the way home last night when I saw an intriguing dirt rode covered in mud, this morning I decided it was time for the first real bath at home.

In case anyone wonders what its like washing a car while its 21 degrees outside, its substantially worse than it sounds.

Decided to also change the splash screen on the stereo and fine tune my speedo for the new tires in forscan.

Trying to decide now if I do the Sync 3.4 upgrade or hold out for an official release.

Get yourself a pair of neoprene diving gloves with a high cuff. I used to wash my trucks all winter long when I lived back east and these were a life saver for your hands.

Added my Wild Rhino decal. It's a Kansas based group of friends that happen to ride Goldwings. It started after the Wild Hogs movie came out. I have been a "member" for years but finally got my decal. Had the patch since I was "inducted" into the group in 2010.

I did this:

But I'm not enamored with the outcome.

The A and the E are the only two that didn't seem to need to stretch into the form.

Is there some special way I'm missing; I followed the online instructions.
Hi Antonio,

Yeah...my fear as well...will wait until someone like eyecatcher creates plastic colored lettering for this application... So far nothing I can find on line. That said. I would bet most folks will not notice and think it is very cool. Don't sweat the petty stuff and don't pet the sweaty stuff, eh?

Best,

I finally gave my truck a vacuum, interior wipe and floor mat clean followed by an exterior wash. It was just above freezing today and the wash was long overdue. The only photo I took is through the window while waiting to pick up pizza!
