I read on here somewhere, someone was talking about blowing their bike off with a leaf blower after a wash... yeah I laughed too!! I believe the poster even talked about the neighbors looking. Well, after a beautiful Northern Virginia commute home, and after a couple of well deserved beers I decided that the bike needed a wash. I've had it almost three weeks now and I've put over 900 miles on her. So I pulled out the bucked and the suds and all that... washed the tank... grabbed a beer.... washed the left fairing area, grabbed a beer... washed the right side fairing... well you get the point. At some moment in my feel good state, I remembered someone talking about the leaf blower. I grabbed my trusty Craftsman 202MPH gas driven blower, and commenced to blowing the water off the bike. WoW... I can't believe after all the years of washing and hand drying bikes that I never thought of this. Countless hours of preciously towl drying every nook and cranny... every under lever, every wiring harness... well you get the point. This is by far the best nugget of bike upkeep I've learned in a long time. Thanks hayabusa.org.
