Just thought I'd update if anyone was wondering (I'm sure you're all waiting with bated breath) - I got the Metro Blaster Sidekick in the mail today.

I was worried (like apparently a number of others who see it online) that it would be some weak hair dryer of a thing, but they're not lying about the 1.3 horsepower. The thing darn near jumped in my hand when I fired it up and the flow of air out of it was impressive to say the least.

Now I'm wondering how their biggest variant with an 8 hp engine and a massive tank is, it moves four or more times more air than this. I'd be worried it would peel the paint... going to use it in anger this weekend, time for a top to bottom clean of the bike.

Just make sure you have the bike tied down properly. We don't want to hear how you blew it down the street...
