Well someone on the ranch left the shop door open and the dogmad: ) had a field day taking a leak all over a nice spotlessly clean bike. I just got done washing it and all is ok except for the front rim. There are some corrosion spots from the urine. How can I get this out without polishing the whole rim? Or am I screwed?

Thanks

ps I will be back later with some pictures of it.

The Lord tells me I'm okay but assures me that you're pretty much fukked.

Mother's Alum or Mag polish.... Be careful with steel wool on alum... you can change the sheen. although, it looks pretty crappy now.

Try this.

Dammit... that is funny!

P.s. what did you do to the dog??????

I don't know this for a fact, but I hear that if you skin your dog and rub the spot with the inside of his pelt, it won't get the marks out but it will relieve some of your aggravation. For a few minutes...

Have you tried pissing on the dog under a full moon while chanting "Bad doggie, shiny rim. Bad doggie shiny rim"

WOW!! Same exact thing happened to me last week. Got the bike in the garage under a cover and on the battery tender. We let the dog out the garage in the morning. He'd had a big day the day before, ate and drank late, got up and went immediately to the door the next morning. He usually is calm, waits for the garage door to open - but not this time. He goes straight to the rear wheel and takes a long, satisfying leak - right in front of me. Funny as hell! No problems though, as I was able to rinse it immediately.

must be a METRIC dog. might i suggest tacos tonight?

He may be trying to tell you he's mad about all the time you leave him behind while you go riding on your bike. my wife was watching this show called the dog whisperer and this guy goes and helps people with problems like this. the first ones free from me though, no charge.

:yikes: Maybe the opposite!! My wife wanted to name him "Harley" and I thought that was too cutesy. Maybe he's always been PO'd about that -- and just wanted me to know!!

So, just how dead is "Sparky?"

That's fukked up!

 

[sailordb]

From the above commments.....alll of which are valid.... and from my own experince i can saw you are pretty much F'ded.

 

[FXDRYDR]

Kindsvater -

In all seriousness - can't you buff it out with a good alum polish? Or get it powder coated?

 

[czar]

Alum. polish will make it a lot less noticeable... you could also take this opportunity to powdercoat the wheels black.

So anyway... how was the dog and 'tater stew?

 

[rpbrock]

Have the dog piss on the rest of it... at least it will match....

 

[JMS]

No, your not screwed, semichrome polish will fix that without any problems other than elbow grease.

This happened to me: sitting in the cafe, bike in front of me, lady comes with the dog, lady stops, the dog stops....dog piss ON THE BIKE, lady waits for dog to finish the job, I watch and can not believe what my eyes see.......fifteen seconds......I hesitate to react since I can not decide weather to kill the lady or to kill the dog......they go away.....now, actually, I was pissed not the bike....Unbeliveable!
