This all has me thinking about strapping 2 blowers to the bike...1 on each strut pointing backwards and when I need some extra boost, just hit the button and WHAM-O 400mph worth of boost.

Old school?... gimme a break

Whatever happened to cotton towels ...

But then I get PO'ed when I hear a leaf blower thinking what ever happened to using a rake, or a broom for the yard and the driveway?

Good point.

Maybe its just me getting old and being too lazy to use towels to dry it off. Got to admit the leaf blower does a great job of drying off the engine and other places that are hard to reach with a towel.

Yeah, I'm definitely getting old and have been lazy most of my life... I guess I'm getting cantankerous and hateful in my old age... and I hate noise, unless it's coming out MY pipes.

LMAO!!!

I picked up a cycledry from j&p a couple of years ago. Around 40.00, puts out a lot of air, has a flexible rubber attachment to get into the tight areas (), and still works great. Makes drying the bike a snap especially after using the mr. clean auto dry system.
