Great idea....long overdue. Might be a long time before I see one around these parts though....

I much prefer getting my bike washed at the rallys by half naked nubile young women. They miss a few spots but the enthusiasm they put into the job makes it worth it.

Dang! I knew I should have been going to those rallys! Trip, are we going to have a bike washing crew at our national rally?

I like the wheel washer, but because it's touchless, I doubt it really get's your bike clean...

Let's get some of our Indianapolis KawaNOW members over there for a test and report.

Interesting concept. So how would particularly hot exhaust pipes handle being sprayed by water? Would the chrome "crack"? Also, to really get the wheels clean, I have to take the saddle bags off. Unless some cute little bikini chick comes along and scrubs out the tight spots with a brush, I'll take a pass.

Definitely an interesting concept though.

they covered this in an American Chopper episode ... Paul Sr. had some interest in getting it started (supposedly) ... no mention of OCC in the news bit, tho.

Washing a hot bike would be my biggest concern.
I wouldn't rely on it getting clean anymore than I do with my truck.It would just be a quick wash and rinse,I would still do my normal detailed wash as well.

rlfaubion · 11-04-2008, 10:58 AM

If they used this stuff, it would come out clean.

This was a gift, and while skeptical of spray ons, I was amazed at how well it works. Spray it on and power rinse it off. I know this might sound like an infomercial, but I've used this twice now and this stuff works.

This is my idea of a bike wash!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

socwkbiker · 11-04-2008, 02:01 PM

Amen Spirello! I would also be concerned about a hot bike. You would almost have to let it sit for a while then run it through the machine. Would you really want to wait?

I've been using S100 for a year and a half, and love it. It works well and doesn't take an exorbitant amount of time.
