Default Cycle Dryer Exploded
...in my hands. Was using it for about 5-6 minutes and the internals actually blew apart and shot one of the screws out of the housing. It damn near hit the bike.

I bought mine new at a dealer on the other side of the country about two years ago. I really liked using it up until today. Guess I'm in the market for something new.

Half the bike is still drip drying in the garage...guess I get to polish everything tomorrow.

Wow. Never heard of any of them doing that before. Good thing you and the bike weren't hurt. Needless to say, I'm sure it's out of warranty, and those things aren't cheap.
