    Zascar used to get his bike cleaned up beside Bewley's in Leopardstown.

    Here is the website for the place: http://www.speedysteam.ie/motorbikes/. The Ducati was Zascars'.

    Here is the original thread on it, and if you tell him Colin from Boards.ie sent you he might give you a slap discount

    Got this done last week, does a decent job but was not overly impressed for the price. But I got charged full whack (€20) as he was only standing in for the lad Zascar knows.....usually its around €15 or so. But best to get a price before the clean.....one thing I will say is that he does not use any wax or shiny stuff to bring the bike up after the steam clean so plastics etc can look a bit dull. Best to bring your own stuff for buffing up the shine afterwards.

    So lads I know this guy pretty well. Cleans my bike and car all the time. He said normally its €20 for a bike but I said I could get him some more business and got a group deal, so mention Boards.ie and you'll get it for €15. I recommend calling and booking in before you leave just to make sure he's not booked up and agree the price. He's a really nice guy he'll look after you. His name is Fady - he's from Lebanon. He has an eastern european guy working for him but try to talk to Fady and tell him Colin sent you :)
