Anyone here use either a purpose bought bike dryer or a pet dryer?
Which model do you use? They look pretty useful but you can get a 2800W pet dryer for £45. The same output "bike dryer" is £135.
I've read they do the same job. Anyone got one?
I use our dog dryer.
Use a leaf blower

I have a suspicion they are exactly the same device except you pay a mug premium for buying the bike version.
I'm going to buy a pink one next spring with pictures of poodle paw prints on it...
I used my Flymo garden vac last time out which was hugely cumbersome but worked very well indeed hence considering one. They seem to work very well on nakeds.
I've found the one I want - £50 with variable airspeed, 3 temp settings and 12 month warranty.
I've seen the pink one DeeDub - I'm going with black :rofl:
Joking aside, my MT is a bit of a nightmare to wash and dry because it's all nooks and crannies and fiddly bodywork. Washed and dried it the other day with microfibre towels on the paddock stand thinking I'd done the job but when I put it on the side stand water poured out of bloody everywhere! Took it up the road for five minutes to get it done.
Ahhh. Was out washing the Zed last week and was cursing as i tried to dry into all the wee nooks and bits that big sausage fingers cannot reach.
This is now getting looked at

I'm going to go out on mine today. SORN it on Weds and that's it until 2019.
I have to say, I'm very tempted by an MT10 - loved my 15 R1 and miss that engine!!
Are you expecting the side stand to leak? :rofl:
Can't you just fire up the afterburners on one of your fancy jest and dry it? :rofl:

It's a great bike but as I've said before the suspension is a bit disappointing.
SP version worth a look?

Quite probably. With hindsight I'd have got the SP, but I'd still be getting someone to put the right weight springs in it though. Currently looking at K-Tech cartridges and shock at £1900 :icon_pale:
I take one of these on all Euro trips now. Used to dry my lid out or sit in 30`heat in my leathers to keep cool.
I picked a second hand one up for £15.It will dry the bike in no time :afro:

I believe we have one of those somewhere. That's a great shout. Just missing the heating aspect.

Only problem there is it's in another country DeeDub :rofl:
What is this bike washing malarky you're talking about? We're meant to wash them...? :shocked:
After washing the Zed at weekend. There was too much water lying in engine area.
Her Vidal Sassoon hairdryer overheated trying to blow it dry , thankfully it worked again and was put back before she came home. Hehehehehe :evil:
Anyways, thief bay seemed to be a bit sparse with them at what i was willing to pay.
This arrived today , ok ok... Only colour i could get. £45 delivered with Ama tight Scots git . Delivered well within time as they have a huge depot 6 miles from me in Dunfermline.
Holy fuck. It would blow shite aff a dry stane dyke at 20 paces. Great variable speeds and heat. Might even use it for blowing the old grey locks about :rofl:
