Well after hearing all the glowing reviews of the Air Force product, I just ordered the mid model off e bay. Had a few bucks in the account and decided that drying the bike is such a pain, it'd be worth it. Hope it lives up to all the hype!!

 

leaf blower then start and let her warm up good to dry up any water in the tight and small areas and to blow out any water sitting in exhaust.

 

why are they horrible. ive been using for a decade and never had any issues with my road bikes or mx bikes. sitting water is the worst thing on any bike and if put away in a garage without getting all water off, you will rust somewhere for sure

 

Many gas blowers exhausts exits through the blower tube and can leave residue on the bike.

 

Leaf blower for me as well... to get as much water out of the nooks and crannies as I can... then and usually an ultra quick wipe of the painted and chrome surfaces with a micro-fiber towel.

 

Leaf blower here.

 

I always use the combination air from compressor shammy and a microfiber, but I picked up a little electric blower just so I don't have to dry near compressor or drag out a longer hose. All I know is a touring bike has a sh*# load of nooks and crannies to dry

 

I would be happy just to get a break in the weather to wash my bike. Come on spring stop farting around!

 

X3....purchased 7 years ago, still works like new. Better than a leaf blower IMHO. Filters the air, no threat of fine particals hitting your paint. The air is slightly heated for faster drying, especially during the cold months. It also works drying cars. One of the better maintenance purchases you can make. By the way, I don't work for anyone related to dryer.

 

Leaf blower, microfiber towel then ride it all day and by time your done riding it will be dry and youll have a smile on your face
