As stated in the topic above, these were free bike washes available on a rural road (well two roads) in SC.  I did not need the wash so the wife and I just sort of waited it out.

Lol, that's kinda funny but could be dangerous for the unaware rider.

What camera were those taken with?  You were either on nice smooth roads or the camera has pretty good image stabilization.

The "dangerous" thought was the one I had as well which is the main reason I did the recording. 

The camera was a GoPro12.  The road was ok.

Oh and tha camera has a remote control that allows me to start and stop recording from the handlebars. 

We also have a front and rear facing full time camera system on the bike as well for "other" events.

I knew you had front / rear dash cams but didn't think those videos were from them as the resolution and image stabilization was so good.   

I'm still using a 1080p dash cam from my wife's old car on one bike but no image stabilization on it and low resolution.  So I'm still watching and waiting for a good deal on a good MC dash cam but I haven't found it yet. Smiley

My area of the world, if you don't irrigate you don't grow, there is a lot of that sort of road watering going on.  The real challenge is to time  the sprinklers to where they are not hitting the road when going by.  2funny
