Never used them, never will. I trust the guys in the back, before I would someone in a bikini. I don't even know if I let my wife wash it.

I dont care how cute they are nobody washes my bike. Happy to donate some funds, just for enjoying the view. I am married not dead.

Of course I do! Bikinis don't scratch bikes, worse case scenario, they miss some spots. I go to every event possible, and have had dozens of bikini washes, never had a problem, never had damage.

I'd rather pay them to wash each other and watch that....

OTOH, they are unlikely to hurt it and it is just a motorcycle, so I might let them............

yup. I watch them wash other bikes too. I don't feel as pervy if mine is in line.

I tried washing my Heritage with a bikini, and it left streaks, so I dont do bikini washes anymore
