Shiny!

While waiting for the frame to be polished, I've been cleaning and polishing every other bit of the bike. Diligent application of degreaser, wire brush, steel wool and Mother's polish makes any metal part almost as shiny as chrome. Here, for example, is one of the little aluminum tabs that support the bottom of the fairing.

Shiiiiny! was a slang neologism introduced in the late lamented Firefly series. I said it a lot while polishing things.
