How do you dry your bike off after you wash it? Our bikes stay bling blingin' after quite awhile now. I take all the plastics off (including tank) and hit everything really well with the hose, then i take inside and dry it off really well with the air hose. No rust on our bikes

ready set wd-40....yup wd-40 everything except the brakes and the exhaust pipe...yes it does atract a little more sand but it washes right off...after washing my bike I wd-40 the entire thing(other than my alread listed exceptions) it helps prevent corrosion and makes the motor look shiny new....

I've been wanting to make a Pismo trip so bad but all the rust horror stories I hear scare the crap out of me. So WD40 is the secret? Just spray it down, ride then wash it off and dry it real good. Sounds easy enough. Thanks for the tip.

WD-40 does the trick! You can also cover your quads at night with a tarp to keep the mist/dew off of it.
Stay out of the water if you really care about your quad!
