I use the leaf blower for drying the bike and the cars. After using the blower I finish with soft towels where needed.

I used to use a leaf blower too, but did get the AIRFORCE Blaster a year or 2 ago. It does a pretty good job, has a few attachments, and blows warm filtered air. Again, it works pretty good, no complaints. Dries the cracks and crevases really well. Places that you can not get dry - get dry! Does it do better than the leaf blower? yes, but also quite a bit more $$$$$. I would like to get the little dolly that it straps on to tho for wheeling it around while drying the bike as it likes to roll over on its side. I'd buy it again. Ride safe...

P.S. It does take a lot of the PITA out of washing the bike!!
