I'm not sure what to think. But I can see the H/D riders liking something like this.

I can also see CityXslicker laughing his ass off!

I'll stick with hand washing, that machine isn't smart enough to keep from spraying directly onto hot cylinders, air filter, etc..

They lost 2 years and thousands of dollars in R&D all so chrome dome joe can have his Hoggity Sparkle for 10 bucks?
I wonder if I can charge to go the them bikes really dirty so you can see how effective it really cleans them.
I will only charge 5 bucks to dirty your bike.

Machines should never replace Jiggly Girls

That's just wrong - the automatic wash, that is.

The Jiggly Girls are just right.

Of course they would use a Police officer. It's not technically "his" bike!

I wouldn't let that thing touch mine.

Washing my bike is part of my bonding process with my bike. It brings us closer together. Is that weird? Maybe I should have kept that to myself...

Death to the Machines, Long live Jiggly Girls. They are the only ones that wash my equipment.

I can't watch the video right now, but is this the same bike wash Paul Senior showed on American Chopper?

If so I totally see waterlogged spark plug wires.

Moto gp fans huh...

It is the same system seen on American Choppers..I really didn't want to admit that I saw it there.

It does seem well thought out despite being Paul Sr. approved. I would worry a little about water intrusion, but they seem to have thought it out pretty well.

Not for me though, as was said, washing is a time to check things out and do preemptive maintenance.
