Jet washing--a cautionary tale
Re: Jet washing--a cautionary tale
I cut myself with water from a Karcher jet this week. I was cleaning mouldy paving slabs, decking and fencing!!! I decided to give my croks a wash, so holding a crok in one hand at arms length and the jet hose in the other, I fired it at close range to my crok. One jet of water caught the back of my hand which felt like being cut by a knife and left a line/scar where the water broke the skin.
It is how they are they used as you don't have to go full strengh all the time. Just be very cautious if using them on the bike, they will cause damage if not used sensibly.

Re: Jet washing--a cautionary tale
You could be right. I think maybe it's time I invested in a pair of trainers, otherwise all I would have to wear is my bike boots The thing is...with my dodgy foot Croks are the most comfortable and easy to flip on and off and clean etc. They are bloody dangerous in the wet though.

Re: Jet washing--a cautionary tale
My mate years ago bent a piece of strimmer cable/plastic rope
into a curved shape that when poked through the coin slot on the
pressure washer at the local garage would give a couple of minutes
free (stolen) use. Anyway he got kind of addicted to this practice
and pressure washed the Blade every day, well after 6 months
what an absolute wreck it turned into. I rode it one day and it was
terrible. Every bearing on the bike was shagged.
