BLO AIR-S hand held car dryer
 
I don't ride in the rain but it is getting increasingly difficult to avoid wet roads as our climate changes. Trying to dry the bike after washing is hard because of its nooks and crannies so a few months back I bought one of these:

I used it for the first time today since I wanted to ride and it was relatively mild, the sun was shining but the roads were very wet requiring the bike to be washed when I got back. I found it amazing! It is basically a supercharged hair dryer but after a few minutes there was no water visible on the bike barring the tyres.
So if you have to ride wet roads and frequently wash your bike I'd consider getting one.

Looks good although that price is a bit fruity.

Ouch! Yes, looks very capable, but the thick end of 100 quid! I'll stick to a chamois leather and natural processes I think.

When I started looking these were the first ones I saw...

...so £95 seemed like a bargain :)

Ouch! Like Gary, I think a towel and natural ventilation will do for me.

I haven't the inclination to keep my vehicles 'showroom fresh' or to concours standard. I attend to functional maintenance but some cosmetic imperfection is fine for me.

Much to the amusement of my neighbours the leaf blower comes out after I wash my bike. No heat of course so it's not as effective as a proper dryer but it gets some of the water out of the nooks and cranies. And I don't wash the bike that often or go out much on wet roads so it would get little use if I got one.

Tempted though...
