My guess was that this would be in post 4. Turns out it was post 5. Damn near called it!!!!!
Who the hell dries a bike? Wierd! I have shammied the paint before a wax but othere than that once a year chore, who cares. Its just a motorcycle.
(show bike trailer queens get a pass I guess but that is another discussion)

+1 for the leaf blower. Works really well for getting the water out of all those nooks and crannies around the engine.
