Talking A tip

After you wash your bike if you do. Try useing a leaf blower. To blow all the water off your bike. This works great as it will blow all the water off everything try it you might like it.

I read a really funny post where a guy had a unit that sucked up leaves and could also blow air to push them around.

He washed his bike and unbeknownst to him his wife had decided to do a little yard work and sucked a bunch of leaves, you can see where this is going, omg it was so funny about 20 lbs of leaves and gunk and whatever all blew right onto his wet freshly washed bike, lol

He also explained he had been working on his bike in another scenario and had parts off and didnt cover the bike, when he got home his wife happily announced she had decided to surprise him and used the leaf blower to clean the garage and blew all he leaves, dust sand, etc.. around and obviously all inside his bike, I nearly spit my drink when I read it.
Your tip reminded me of his story.
