Motorcycle Wash

A business in Indianapolis has created a touch-free motorcycle wash. It's considered the latest technology in automated washes.

Julie Pursley explains how it works.

YOU'RE LOOKING AT STATE OF THE ART TECHNOLOGY THAT'S LIKELY TO GET THE ATTENTION OF MOTO G-P FANS IN INDY FOR THIS WEEKEND'S RACE. THE PROTOTYPE AUTOMATED MOTORCYCLE WASH OFF OF CRAWFORDSVILLE ROAD IS JUST UP THE STREET FROM THE INDIANAPOLIS MOTOR SPEEDWAY.

IT'S CALLED THE MOTO EXPRESS WASH. THE CREATORS WITH HARRELL'S CAR WASH SYSTEMS HERE IN INDIANAPOLIS SAY IT WAS NEARLY 2 YEARS IN THE MAKING.

 "How to hold it up right obviously was a challenge, that was what all of our guys spent the most time on, how to hold the bike up right, securely. then we started working in to a clean bike."

FOR 10-DOLLARS... THE MOTO EXPRESS WASHES A MOTORCYCLE IN 5 MINUTES. THIS SPEEDWAY POLICE OFFICER SAYS THAT'S MUCH SHORTER THAN THE NORMAL 1 TO 2 HOURS IT TAKES TO HAND WASH A BIKE.

 "They have a system where both tires rotate. they can clean all of the spokes in the wheels. and in just minutes, instead of having to take a lot of time to go down through with a sponge than having and all that. "

"Automatic car washes have been around for decades, but this is the first time someone has developed a bike wash that works. it's one of those ideas that leaves you saying, 'Why didn't I think of that.' "

 "Once you start getting into it it's challenging to do. so i can kind of see why nobody had tried to do it before." "We're very excited our guys did a tremendous job. a lot of late nights. weekends. finally it's here. julie-this idea could make you rich. mike- it could. hopefully it will."

THEY'RE PLANNING TO TAKE THE SYSTEM TO MARKET WITH THE HOPE IT WILL SWEEP THE NATION.

The patent on the motorcycle wash is pending.
