Best winter blow jobby.

Post by Dodgy69 »

For anyone who hasn't got one, these pet dryers are ace for winter washing. Maybe getting late, getting dark wip it out and job done.

Don't use it much in summer but a god send this time of year.

What's that? I don't wash my motorbikes, they've never been dirty.

My 690 got dirty once on a Germany trip, took many hours to get nice.

I remember you saying you don't use water or something or other or summot. πŸ€”

I only use cold air, blast the water out. πŸ‘

Yeah I don't really use anything other than GT85 and furniture polish. But I don't do rain.

Been using mine for years now, specifically purchased for the bikes and it works a treat. Much cheaper than the bike specific ones.

I use it initially then finish off with microfibre cloth.

I use the wet and dry henry. One hole sucks, the other blows, only cold air but it works.

Finally, I can think of something to ask for my birthday! This should do the job nicely?

I use my air hose in the UK, but you have to be careful because you can blow water into nooks and crannies as well as blow it out.
I used it on our MTBs last time we were home but I did wonder if I'd blown just as much crap and water into bearings and crevices as I'd blown off places I could see.
