Am I just too sensitive...

...or does anyone else cringe when they see someone selling a 40+ year-old bike that they've just thoroughly hosed down top to bottom with a garden hose?

I'm guilty of the garden hose myself... but i couldn't figure out a more delicate way to remove the rats nests and spiderwebs after I bought it.

after restoration, I certainly see the point of better care.

Garden hose??I drove right into the car wash with a Dream on a trailer and used their pressure washer on one I bought to clean it up!

I prefer to remove the hose from the picture before I snap it. Might even move the bike to a drier spot too. Hey,jus' thinkin
