    No help on the Muc Off here either Alyssa :whistle:

    I use CT20, which is the next one up from CT18. It is called WASH & WAX.
    Spray on from mixed at 20:1 from a garden spray bottle (usually 3 litres does a whole bike clean)
    Usualy pay around $30 for 5 ltr bottle of concentrate when Supercheap have specials on :laugh:

    Leave for 10 mins then simply hose off, usually without the use of even a sponge ;)
    I never use a pressure sprayer on the 690, CT20 does all the hard work B)

    As mentioned by Murph,,, wipe plastics down with Armorall Wipes every second wash or so and she sparkles like new every time
    I also use it on our cars and .haven`t put polish near the Landcruiser in 10 years :whistle:

    It’s wet alright.

    I now live on an Island. We are completely cut off from Port Macquarie, Kempsey and Crescent Head with water metres deep along the Maria River Road.

    We lost power on Friday afternoon and it came back on late Sunday which we are really thankful for because we stocked up of food etc on Thursday and we thought it might all go rotten before the power came back on. At this stage it looks like we could be isolated for up to a week. :unsure:

    We spent yesterday afternoon catching yabbies in the water as it flowed over one of the local tracks. The kids had a ball but today it’s raining again :angry:

    I’m worried we haven’t seen the end of the rain yet as another low is now impacting on SE Queensland. If it forms into another eastcoast low we could be stuck on our island for weeks.

    At least we haven’t had any floodwater enter our house. Poor Moose and Kathy have not been so lucky with floodwater flowing right through the bottom half of their place.

    Goodluck to everyone else going throught the same at the moment.

    If this goes on for too long I might start looking like EV’s avitar :whistle:

    Kram B)

    That`s no good for Moose, Cath & family,,, :pinch:
    I wish I was closer so I could help out when time comes to clean up :S

    If there`s anything we can do, please let them know to sing out mate !!!
    Let`s hope that`s the end of the rain hey ???

    It`s been a while since installing the Damper and last weekend was the first real test for me on it`s benefits.
    The 2Day Nav ride to Woodstock & back provided a great variety of riding and surfaces to get a fell for it and play with the settings a bit.
    I started out with the setting on 4 but wound it up on the marbly gravel roads to 5 and only wound it back to 3 when I hot the blacktop on Sunday arvo leaving Wisemans Ferry for the blast home,,,

    The lift from the bar risers was an added bonus that I needed anyway, now I find standing far more comfortable (could go a tad higher I reckon, but not bad as it is)
    As TB mentioned, the Damper realy saves you on any dodgy unexpected bits late on Day2 or 3 when I was normally tiring and lacking concentration ;)

    I found myself able to stand up on the pegs and go as had as I liked on the Mt Irvine climb in front of Fish trying to catchup after I had walked back down a long way to check on Wigster and James :laugh:

    Install was relatively painless and quick d I am stoked with the decision to finally get one (even more so with the reduced price at the time) 😆
