I wash, shampoo hair, brush my teeth and shave while showering. About the only thing I don't do is put my clothes on in the shower. I use multi blade razors (for weeks on end) and gel. No runs, no cuts, no errors.

There is a fellow named Hank who owns a BMW boxer powered GS model (not sure of year, mid 1990s IIRC) who infrequently posts at ADVrider (he's pretty busy riding). He is currently at 480,000+ and states he'll clear 500,000 miles this summer, all without a major engine tear down. He indicates he...
