So I have started using rain water for washing my bike.
i had already a 250 litre barrow connected to the drain pipe from the shed roof(use it to water the garden in dry periods), and with the Danish weather it more or less fills up every week.
Now I know that there is an environmental side to it as well,- but that not really why I have started on this.
The great thing about rainwater is that it is free of limescale, - hence it leaves no spots on the bike if you don't have time to dry it up properly afterwards.Especially behind the windshield, the egdes of the fairing and other places like that tends to have these limescalespots when my bike dryes up, if washed with tabwater.
So all in all,- it makes the cleaning more easy, - and it helps the evioriment :thumbup:
