TS1 and PX stay in the garage (future barn finds) out on the GTS 300 when I go out on a scooter.

All F1 teams use dishwashers to clean their parts. But I don't think they have to deal with Lammy road grime though. :D

I don't think these could go in the dishwasher, even I wouldn't do that...

It's amazing how tough 50 years of accumulated dirt + 2 stroke + gear oil + heat can be. I'm surprised NASA didn't cotton to it for coating the space shuttle :?
