That's what might happen in Bradford, but this way, we take care of our neighbourhood (or try to) :mfr_lol:
On a serious note Tapps, theres a lad at work who works in the bodyshop selling a Black & Decker leaf blower, if its still for sale I'll enquire for you, he only wanted £20 I think.

I've used a leaf blower for years for drying my bikes after washing them before I,ve put them away..! ps sod the leaves, the wind will sought them out :smiley:
They are very good .. so I am told ! :wink:
A motorcycle dryer? Kwikas,... we REALLY need a ROTFLMAO smiley!
Jeez people, go out and RIDE IT!
If it ever stops raining it'll soon dry out.
Next thing you'll be wrapping it in bubblewrap and buying it nice fluffy tyre-slippers.
It's a :censored: :censored: motorcycle, not a mistress, pet, or a piece of butt-jewelry (Harley). <LOL> :biker3:
Come to think of it, my GTR1000 has a Leather Bra. <PHWOAARR>
Fluffy tyre slippers ??? I'll just take a look on Google ............ :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
I have a leaf blower/sucker that I bought in a rush, its been used twice and its very good, but now it lives in the shed and doesn't get used, I have a compressor which I use to blow water off the GTR after a wash, being very careful not to blast water into switches etc.
I just take the bike for a quick spin after a wash, that does all the drying it needs :smiley:
Nobody use a chamois leather anymore?
I feel old now! Maybe I'll have to start with the leaf blower and move with the times.
Of course the other option is to put the bike away wet and turn the fan heaters on in the garage...... I can usually get the tempature in there to about 40deg!! :whistling:
I still chamois my bike down after a wash.
Better than Chamois leather, I use Meguiars Water Magnet Microfiber Drying Towel - Totally awesome!
I use microfibre cloths after washing the bike.
Mostly to avoid getting limescale rings where the droplets dry.
The joys of living in a hardwater area.
compressor for me too blow all the excess off and then leather, then silicone all the black stuff, then polish.
