    I just use my compressor to blast of the water. A leaf blower works well but a compressor takes up less space & has more uses.

    Go on amazon and search for pet dryer, same product but half the price!

    Or just fire up the bike and let it dry naturally.

    i just fire the bike up for a few minutes,I've heard you have to be a bit careful with the dryers or you could end up blowing the moisture into the electrics

    Weekly bike cleaning regime.
    Wash it with cold water using Muc Off spray cleaner and a sponge, wash leather, polish the chrome and alloy bits then out for a spin.
    I would rather be riding the bike than hair drying it!

    I use my Makita petrol powered leaf blower, works great and stops it drying with loads of water marks if you live in a hard water area.
    Anyone save filtered rain water for the final rinse?

    I usually wash mine when I buy them and at worst a damp cloth and polish there after.

    I'll think you'll find that the SUN is not, in fact, universally available, especially in Scotland at this time of year !!!
