By the time you ride to the car wash you could have the bike washed at your house take pride in getting your sleeves rolled up and clean the big beast, now after I wash my bike I some times use my lawn blower to dry the bike off.
I have a pressure washer in my garage. But I use it only once or twice a year on the fat lady - for example, if there are lots of dirt on the engine, or after long driving in the rain.
But I do use waterless bike cleaning wipes (called Vulcanet) almost on a daily basis. No water involved, so she won't catch a cold.
