Works great for me.
Anyone tried a Motorcycle Dryer??

I have the larger version and it works really well. It's perfect for getting water out of your switch housings, pegs and dozens of nooks and cranies on your bike. Areas that you cant wipe dry. The huge advantage over a leaf blower is the air is heated and FILTERED. A leaf blower has the potential to pick up garbage in the air, shop floor etc. potentially sand blasting your ride.
Here is a link to the manufacturer.

Thanks guys, does the leaf blower run the risk of firing "crap" at a rate of knots out of the thing as they usually dont have a filtering system? - resulting in painfully aggitating chips and scratches to paint work...
Does hot air (MCD) v's cold air (leaf blower) make a big difference?
just an observational question....

I got the master blaster with two motors, and thing has saved me more time than you can imagine. Definitely buy one from a pet shop supplier, NOT a motorcycle parts dealer. I saved a ton, and it's one of the best things I've ever purchased. This thing blows hot, clean air, and there is never any spots, scratches or marks after a wash job. I live down a short dirt road, so my bike gets washed ALOT! Real time saver, and paint finish saver as well. No rubbing to dry with towels or chamois's. I'll try and find a link and post it for you.

Here's the link to the exact model I bought a few years back, but I got mine from a dog grooming dealer. I had some coupon, and got a great deal at about $150. WOW! They have certainly gone up in price over the last few years.

Perhaps I can dry my pure bred Doberman Puppie with it at the same time - "Too birds (dobermans) with one stone"??

Blaster is awesome! Definitely need to stop drying by hand that takes to much work plus you can't get everywhere by hand. Air dryers get in all the spots you can't reach. Also it blows heated air so it evaporates the water as it is blowing it unlike the ghetto way of using a leaf blower.
I would not recommend drying your dog with it as it is pretty strong.
