I use a cheap Weedeater brand gas blower I bought at a yard sale for $5.00. I have been using it for over a year without noticing any oil or other problems with drying the bike that way.

 

I use a cheap electric blower I picked up at Ace hardware on sale. It dries the wife's black Buick with no streaking and gets the water out of all the little crevasses just fine. I put my bike on my jack when washing for ease of reaching wheels etc. and dry it on the stand as well. The blower that I have has a short cord that attaches to an extension cord at the end of its grip so no chance of getting it in the water even if I set it down.

 

I love the filtered air thing. I just wonder how big of a filter do you need in front of your bike when you ride?

 

+1, I got an electric weedeater at walmart for < $20, and only use it on the bikes. I also tried one of those dedicated ones and it was nice and small, but too weak to work very well, so it's back to my weedeater blower.

 

I like the gas. NO cords, any oil that might not get burned off comes out the exhaust, not the blowing air from the nozzle, and it ticks off the tree huggers.

 

I use a gas leafblower for the leaves and my bike. It works great and I've never seen oil residue on my bike or windscreen. There's emissions but it comes out the exhaust side and ends up on my clothes.

 

X2 on the cycle dry. Best $29 I ever spent. The size of a hair dryer, blows with the force of a leaf blower. Soft rubber nozzle(in case it bumps the bike) that twists off to take it on the road. I still see them on Ebay for $35.00 with free shipping.

 

Why buy a leaf blower when you can buy a pancake compressor for $199.00(and they throw in a 1 1/2 brad air nailer) then you can use it for blowing up tires, air tools...

 

use a blaster, warms and filters the air. I can dry my bagger in about 10 minutes

 

Been using a gas leaf blower forever. As those that actually know what they are talking about have already said: the blower intake and the engine exhaust are NOT mixed so there's no gas/oil going thru the blower and hitting your bike.

The electric cord or extension cord can and will damage your paint if you let it touch it.

Filtered air??? I thought the trailer was clean??

The biggest plus for the 2-stroke blower and all other lawn equipment is the satisfaction of knowing some treehugger somewhere is stroking out and thinning the gene pool.
