Your friend is right leaf blowers do nothing for the nooks and cranies.My blowguns all have about a foot of brake line to really reach tight spots.

Especially since the wind is hitting your bike a 130 PSI, right?????

Let's not be silly here. People get shrapnel lodged under their skin all the time by not being careful around compressed air. People use that same compressed air to totally remove paint and rust. I would not even want one speck of that "sand" blasting a mark on my paint.

Read and learn, don't sit there trying to keep others from "getting it".

I see some silly chit on these forums! LOL
Very counter productive.

Don't stop other's from getting it? Is your word the last word? Per your words 130psi going down the road with dust in the air will do less damage than drying your bike? I suppose if you hold the nozzle 1/2 inch from the paint, maybe. This is a forum where everyone can voice their opinions, take every one with a grain of salt. If the prevailing post support your position then all is good. If not, no need to to resort to terms of non productiveness. After all, we are all just what we post. No diplomas of expertise of the sort. To suggest we read and learn is absurd to a point. Are you going to believe one post over another unless it is confirmed by others? Maybe I'm reading you wrong, if so, I apologize. The object of a forum is to get a consensus. To take all ideas and make up your our own mind. I was wondering why I didn't see any more of your posts on the other forum, to show up here with your number of posts in one month. As has been said before, post counts are waaaay over rated. Big numbers don't = smart ideas.
