yes....actually i pushed it 5m out of the garage. put the mohair cover on and let it get soaked wet from the pouring rain. after 15 min i stepped out in the rain and soaped it. then again 15min waiting in the rain and pushing it back in the garage. then dried all the water drops with a microfiber cloth. done :-)) tomorrow, i join a group of bikers (B.A.C.A. Bikers Against Child Abuse switzerland). a friend of mine is a member and he invited me for the anual 100 mile ride. 30 harleys and one m3w...sounds nice and the weather should be sunny.
