I have an airforce it's great. Leaf blowers are ok I guess. You can get right into the nooks and crannies with a motorcycle dryer.

Never thought of a pair of panty hose on the end to filter out the any potential particals that may come out. I can see it now with one leg of them attached to the end blow like crazy in the wind lol prob have to stand a few feet back so it wont slap the bike . J/K man good idea

hummm since my wife doesn't have any panty hose wonder how a g string would work LOL

Peace
Ride Safe

air compressor here works awesome and I can get all the water off the bike. Plus you can add air to your tires if you need to.

I used a gas leaf blower for 4 years until it started spitting oil all over my bike. Guess I'll buy an electric one this spring.

My wife was a dog groomer for years, owned her own shop. I have the best blower-dryer she could buy at the time ... works great. Gave a spare to a friend.

I do the same. Dedicated shop vac. My wife tried to use it as a vacuum one day and I had to tell her no way. No dirt allowed in that thing.

Damn! I guess I wasted my money. I bought an Air Force Blaster via eBay a couple of years ago. I have used it many times on my bike and car. It works great and the heated air and the air flow gets the water out of all the nooks and crannies. But, it still cost less than my leaf blower.
