For what it's worth, my method for drying a jacket that went through the washing machine. Cinch up the cuffs to make the arms nice n puffy with air. Set it outside in the sun to speed the process up.

What's the best engine temperature to wash the bike at? After a ride or before? Do I leave it idling when hosing it off? This isn't to make her all pretty... just hose it down and a fast wipe. Like a beday. Mind you a beday does make it all pretty too. I'm in an underground parking lot if that...
