Any takers to Car wash your Spyder?

[Lctriple]

My wife and I were discussing automatic car washes and I had a thought. Someone could drive the Spyder through a car wash in rain gear and helmet just to see what the automatic system would do. They measure the car before starting, it might give the whole damn thing fits. Any takers?

I think Al Bundy tried walking thru a car wash. Didn't turn out so good. Wouldn't think this would either. Good luck and let us know how it turns out.

If I were from Missouri, I'd say, "Show Me"

Wear a seatbelt and goggles and you should be just fine.

I say if it's a touchless wash just drive the old girl in there and run like hell and let it do its thing and stand outside!!! When the smoke clears see what left! Take videos tho, I would like to watch!

I am sure the car wash owners will not let you go through the wash. You will not be protected with just a rain suit. How will you handle the rollers, slapping strips, pressurized water, etc.
But, if you decide to do it and are allowed to please, please record it for posterity.

I really hope that you're joking? I read this to my wife, and she wants to know if you've been smoking weed this morning? Wake and bake?

Have you ever looked inside one of those automatic car washes?

What's in the middle, between the two tracks?

If you were to drive your three wheeled Spyder into the bay, where does the rear tire go?

Right.

 

[Leaping1]

OK,. We have all had a good laugh over this question. My question is why would someone even want to try this?

 

[racoon]

Maybe in a touchless carwash, but not one with the spinning, flapping things that beat the dirt off.

Be sure to have someone hold your beer.

No No No, the one's you drive in, stop, and the washer goes around the car like a robot! Haven't smoked weed since High School!! And that was a long time ago!!

I am struggling with common sense on this one.

Go for it and let us know how it comes out. He**, maybe you're on to something here that no one's had the courage to try. LOL

Forget the carwash, just tape up the sleeves of the rainsuit to your gloves, and tape the rain pants legs to your boots, then ride through the next tropical storm that comes through. You are not going to stay dry, but if you can keep most of the wind out, you can stay fairly warm. When you pull the tape off and remove the rainsuit, all your clothes, boots, and everything will be soaking wet.

Sounds like a drunken Harley dare

If you duct tape your sleeves and ankles over boots and gloves, make sure you have someone to help you remove the tape when you need to break out of your rain suit. I didn't. An experience worthy of Candid Camera.......

Fold the last 6 inches of the duct tape back on itself and you got a handle when you get ready to rip it loose. It will come right off. I used to do it all the time.

Yup. A lesson I learned the hard way, on a wet, dark night with my house keys inside my wet rain suit. No one around and unable to get to my keys. Happened back in the 60s after spending a day riding dirt bike. Muddy, wet, slippery, I remember laughing at myself.

That's why I said, use the touchless, drive in and run for your life!!!

I was replying to the OP but since you answered...

Around here, all the automatic car washes have tracks to guide the tires and, in the middle, between the two tracks on either side are pipes, lines, hoses and the like. No place for a third middle rear tire to go.
