    Hopes that thing works better than the last recommendation I following regarded washing the scooter.

    Who was it said - wash it using the CT-60 stuff, then ride it to dry it off.

    What a friken mess, water streaks and blotches all over it - and won't be doing it again.

    How much better is a blow dry than the simple old towel dry method ?

    Hey Rum D,

    I aint used the blower yet.  Just acquired it today - saw it 2 weeks ago and give it a test blast.

    I will post up a review on the product after I use it a couple of times.  By the time I get to Bello I can give ya a full assessment.

    I didn't buy it to totally blow dry my bike - just to blow a majority of water off before attacking it with a Chamy.

    Also, I run outta breath and getting giddy in da head huffing and puffing to push water outta water traps in various parts of my ride

    Blowers are good to get most of the water off the bike and out of all those little crevices (no, not your arse!) like in behind badges, between metal bits like swing arm and brake calipers and the engine fins. You still need to chamois the bike a bit. the main advantage is that you dont chamois a bit and then have water fall or dribble out of somehwere and leave a streak over the finished job.
    Still start and let your engine get warm after a wash though, the heat dries a lot of other things like wiring looms, coils and leads out.

    Only one forward gear.  No clutch required.

    No reverse on the beast.

    I do note the body is made of very hard brittle plastic (full of bad bad chemicals no doubt).

    Reckon if ya dropped it on concrete the bugger would shatter substantially.......just saying.

    Will try to use it in the next few days and give my assessment.

    Hope it's better than their angle grinders, I went through 3 nine inch grinders of theirs in one day. The hardware shop bloke gave up in the end and told me that I'd have to spend another hundred dollars or give up. I gave up. Good luck with it.

     Enjo Chamois are the go - dunno how they work but all the water disappears and you hardly have to wring em out. Don't streak or smear at all. Then a quick blast around the block to remove the water from those hard to get to places and Viola !
