I too use the Hog Blaster and it works really well. I don't want unfiltered air from a leaf blower sandblasting my bike at 130mph.

Wow, if the outside air in Idaho is that dirty, your lungs must be filled with sand.

Well, I use my leaf blower to blow leaves, blow out my shop, etc. I'm just saying I don't want to take a chance on debris built up in my leaf blower intake coming unlodged and smacking my bike. Maybe if you have a leaf blower exclusively for you bike and keep it under lock and key so the wife doesn't blow the driveway with it. Hmmmm.

My Wet/Dry Shop Vac with the 2 rigid pipe attachments on works great. Takes about 4-5 minutes to get the bike bone dry and another 4-5 minutes of quick detail on the shiny parts makes bike look brand new. Learned it here a while back and will never hand dry again! This board rocks!
