    i've seen questions here on washing your bike but not on drying one
    so is there anyone here who doesn't use a leaf blower
    mine is about to wet the bed, are the newer ones any better than a yard sale used one

    Save yourself some money and hook a 2 inch piece of tubing up to your cages tailpipe and rev the motor. Or just go in the house and get one of SWMBO's best bath towels. Make sure the bike is between you and her when she finds out. There will be plenty of hot air available to dry the machine

    Playing fast & loose with exhaust gasses you could pretty soon become a statistic. 8O

    Forget leaf blower. 100 miles at 70mph will dry it off.

    There is serious & humorous, as it wasn't funny, I thought it was serious.
    I don't want to be PC, but you have to watch what you put out there, if you know what I mean.

    Not surprisingly, there's a few different "Motorcycle dryer" models out there. After the first couple times of washing my new bike, I understood why they'd be a nice addition to the cleaning supplies. It has a lot more tight little spots and awkward angles than my Seca did.

    Harley's Hog Blaster

    Metro Air Force Blaster models - Blaster, Master Blaster and Sidekick

    Air Shammy

    There's a other few references I found on Google of people using dryers designed for pets (dogs and cats) and even suggestions to use the exhaust port of a shop vac. Personally, I'd be leery of using my shop vac, considering all the crap that's been blown through it when the filter came loose...

    I thought this was going to some kind of kinky site talking about the Toronto Maple Leafs. Everyone knows the Leafs suck ......... not blow!
