You can clean & dry your bike in the garage during inclement weather. I wash my bike on rainy days. Ride on the nice ones. BTW, I use a TORO electric.

Yeah, you gotta be rich to afford a leaf blower......Man, I remember back in the poor days when all I had was a garden rake. It sure was hard to dry the bike with it without scratching the paint.

It retails for about $180 from their web list of retailers or from www.properautocare.com or www.hawg-wash.com

The wife came home with one of those Metro dryer things. I figured, what the heck, she must be running out of things to shop for. Seems to work OK for drying the bike.

Doesn't blow leaves worth a crap though.

If I can breathe all those "particles" that my Sears leaf blower throws at my Harley then I doubt it will hurt the paint. Don't need to filter or heat the air, just blow the water off. How would the Harley know? Save your money and go to Sears or Walmart, then buy more gas for riding.

I use this $40 JC Whitney cycle dryer. It works great. Unlike a leaf blower the small size allows me to get into tight areas and the rubber nozzle won't damage paint.
