I worry about hitting the hot engine with water. I know, we ride in the rain, but it is usually brought on gradually.

Not my bike! High pressure water can get into too many places it doesn't belong, like past wheel bearing seals, saddle stitching, and other places you don't want water.

And where's his helmet?

Pretty cool from the perspective of all the engineering that went into making that work. I wonder how open air cleaners would handle it...even with a rain sock? I wouldn't use it just because I like cleaning my bike...it's my special time with her...plus it's a good time to look things over while cleaning. Maybe while out on a road trip for awhile and I didn't have my cleaning arsenal with me if use it.

I got to hand it to them. Pretty cool design and much more thorough than I would have expected.

If I had an older beater bike I communicated on maybe. My current bike NO!

Not a single bikini in sight. No way for my bike. I get tempted by the bikini babes, but I've seen them make too many mistakes on others bikes. Just not that difficult for me.

Moto express wash soaks the entire bike. I cover my seat or handwashing and rinsing, keep the soap and water off it.

I am not impressed. My car, okay.

Besides, I don't think it is that technical. It is just a gimmick. My investment advice, don't buy stock or try to create your own. It would be far cheaper and you'd be better served to rent a guy a bucket full of soapy water, a sponge, a rinse hose and a large chamois to wipe it dry.

So many motorcycle motels now have motorcycle rags and many have a motorcycle wash station.
