"So why not use a leaf blower? Metro claims that since the Blaster blows warm, dry, filtered air, it is superior because there’s no residue or debris in the air blast to scratch a motorcycle’s paint.
Air flows from the Blaster at about 20 degrees warmer than the ambient temperature, too, so it leaves no water spots. The 10-foot flexible hose is sufficient to stretch around a bike or go over a seat so you don’t have to keep moving the unit with you."

I like that shop vac thing from harbor freight, it looks cool. Does the vaccume feature work well?
As far as drying the bike, I must have been doing it the hard way for years. My father in law and I would wash our bikes and then go for a ride to "dry" them off. But that was when I had a sportster.
Some times we would be gone all day, but the bikes were really wet. Or that is what we told the wives.....(don't rat me out please)

OBTW, Yes, the blower does filter the air as the vac bag is on the air inlet so automatically filtera the blower air.
Really, I bought this thing to use as a dryer for the bike and it is outstanding, at least as good as my buddys Master Blaster. Comes with a ton of attachments too, great value. I am not selling these things, just letting you guys in on a GREAT value....

It needs some sort of attachment to focus the air. I thought I'd put on readily available shop-vac attachments, but their diameters do not fit.
But, now having read about trying the shop-vac I await another warm day to give that a try!
