The Leaf blower has never blown a leaf!!! It was bought for drying bikes & does it well.

Thanks for the compliments on the motor! Tried to keep it a "sleeper", for the unsuspecting. [sm=icon_sneaky.gif]

Lookin' good. I've got two leaf blowers: one for the yard and the other for the bike. I need to find me a garage mat like yours.

I'm going to havce to try the leaf blower drying technique. I've read it a couple of times now, but havn't broken my out of the cabinet yet at cleanin' time.

Pixs look nice, Street Glides are sweet machines!!!

Where do you get this S100 cleaner, speciality shops or the local Wal Mart?

Leaf Blower works great. Would use electric if possible, so it doesn't spit out gas at 150mph at the bike paint!

S100...Buy it at local HD dealer. Great stuff.

Thanks for the compliments.

Another Zanio customer here too, you have to see that stuff work to appreciate it. I've been using a blower on my cars/trucks for years too, see great minds do think alike!!
