Drinking Beer

Just don't blow any water where is shouldn't go! Seems like every few months someone posts that their bike won't start or they are blowing fuses after washing with a hose or pressure washer and/or dried with a blower.

Dab burn it I thought I had a brilliant idea. Yeah I'm very careful

I just drink the beer and skip washing the bike.

I ride in the rain to wash it and drink the beer when I get home.

As long as the bike & rider are drinking responsible it sounds good to me-lol

I would think pressure washing would be more of a culprit than using a blower for drying.
If riding in the rain and wind blowing your bike dry while riding was a real issue, I think we would all be in trouble
Personally I would never use a pressure washer on my bike. Not even the ones at the car wash.

The problem is that people use blowers from all angles. Riding in the rain has wind forcing water in from fewer directions. I have seen people have some issues when the bike was just sitting uncovered in blowing rain. The only rain electrical issue I've ever had was the cruise control on the Voyager or the turn signals on my old Honda Sabre not working until the switches dried out.

I agree on the pressure washer.
