I have reservations about using a leaf blower on a car due to the potential of kicking up dirt and gravel and maring the paintwork

So I need a leaf blower now do I? :shock:
Only if you're an OCD type like us lot !!!!!!!!! i didn't bother either until i read about people using them to dry theirs bikes and thought it was a bit OTT, but i have noticed if i put my bike away in the garage wet and cold it does sometimes have beads of 'sweat' on it when i have a look, so thought i would join the blower club :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :roll: :roll:

Yeah, I belong in this club. I've certainly seen the beads :cry:
And now, Harry, let us step out into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure.

Link to video with a specific bike dryer and also a reference to a similar pet dryer which is considerably cheaper.



As has been mentioned before about free parking a caravan show at NEC, and a £12 charge for parking at the Bike Show, I just wondered weather some people think bikers always seem to pay over the odds......just a thought.

Thanks for posting the video. It's great for insomniacs. You're guaranteed to be sound asleep after a minute and a half...

Have had one like this for about a year now, two stage heat and variable speed, works really well.
