Actually, I find it rather therapeutic. I do use a leaf blower though when washing with water. Also to knock the dust and pollin off occassionally when a full wash is not necessarily. My bike is very rarely less than spotless.
If you haven't done a complete wash job and just want to clean up the chrome.....I've found that Windex on a paper towel does an AWESOME JOB at not only removing bugs from your chrome and it USUALLY doesn't leave streaks.

I just thought about it.. I have a old leaf blower in the shed.. it's an electric one, but still works. I stopped using it in the yard because I was just blowing sand.... Hmmmmmm
