Here is my experience with motorcycles in bays.If you got 6 bikes and 6 bays each one takes a bay only spends $3.00 and will take as much time as it takes to dry and polish the chrome without moving ahead to make room for others,i think if they spent that much time on their women there would be happy couples.I will take a mudder any day over MC .

Segment the market.
There is the one percent crowd (outlaws). Forget them, they like dirty bikes.
There are the enthusiasts, folks that ride 6,000 or more miles per year.
Most people in this segment are more than hobbyists meaning many do their own maintenance and repairs and sometimes custom work.
I’ve been riding motorcycles since 1972 and always used a dry method to clean my bikes. As far as I’m concerned, it’s simply easier and faster to dry clean.
Largest segment now is weekend warriors.
This group might be more inclined to use an automatic wash but most of them don’t ride during the week because they have day jobs and businesses to run.
Sounds like carwash business thought doesn’t it - big potential on weekends and not nearly as much during the week.
What is price of base unit?

Actually robert! I haven't got that far into it! I know there quit exspensive. Just really kinda circling the wagons. I have three car washes this one is closed plan ing a large remodel and closing another one and tear down to make room for storages. But just in preanning stages.
