Default How to dry your bike.

I use my leaf blower it works great for getting all the water out of the tight spots. Has anyone else tried this method.

nah, i just do what i do on my car. chamois (synthetic and not leather). works great every time. but the leaf blower should work well too.

^^ Ya same. I put the air blower nozzle on and use my air compressor. Same concept as your leaf blower, but the thin nozzle gets in to the tightest nooks and crannies. then I wax with Liquid Glass.
Oh ya, I also get the bike good and hot either short ride or let it idol to evaporate whats left I love cleaning my bike I find it relaxing and agood way to give it an overall inspection.

+1 to leaf blowers

I always use them to blow water off my tires on the car before using tire shine products, works great.
