Johnny was GREAT! A real class act. I have an autographed picture of him hanging in my study. Picked it up at a charity auction a zillion years ago. Someday I'll donate it to another worthy charitable fundraiser.
Haven't been around for a while but it's good to see the gang is still going strong. Half a million views coming up soon.
Greatness is not in where we stand, but in what direction we are moving.

My brown solo seat from corbin got very faded. It was barely brown anymore. Yesterday I bought some Minwax wood stain and rubbed it in. Now it looks better than ever. I was afraid it would rub off on my pants and my father in law said "why do you care, you're biker trash anyway" Of course he was kidding. I put on my crappiest jeans for a test and came back clean! So you all can put min wax in your arsenals.

I own a 2002 RKC and have to say I love everything about it. It was customized to the teeth when I bought it from a close friend who happens to be a deal in Nyack NY.
The stuff you mention is subjective in nature. Like they say, whatever blows the wind up your dress.

I bet Ed misses about 600 large to pay his mortgage. How is this guy broke?

I am not the only guy here who owns virtually every kind of cleaner and wax there is on the market, am I?
What have y'all found to clean the chrome wheels and spokes. (Next bike will have something easier to clean!!)

Wasn't '04 the first year for RKC?
Welcome Larry anyway.

We used to have a dairy supply store in south Seattle, you could buy a milk bottle brush there that was great for spokes. For the rims I used whatever was in the box of cleaners, that was directed for metal cleaning.

Looks like if I do any riding for July, it will be on the wrong side of the road! I head to Manchester and London in two weeks and will be there for 3 - 4 weeks. I wonder how a Triumph rides?

Larry... welcome to the forum! We are all certifiably nuts here.. but it works out somehow.. LOL
As for cleaners - you can always do what I do... ride in the rain! It replaces the old dirt with new, and is a heck of a lot easier than washing and waxing!!
Ride it - clean it ONLY when the sweetie refuses to ride anymore!
Welcome aboard!
