    Just a casual reminder to check your tire pressure.

    Now that the evening temps are falling it would be a good time to double check your cold tire pressure.

    Ride well.

    I went out there but the tires were gone. But I kicked the cinderblocks and they seem full. LOL
    Thanks for the reminder none the less.

    Crap. Now we'll have to do a group buy on remote tire pressure monitors. I'm going to run out of money.

    I checked my pressures this morning. They were fine. Unfortunately, the wear was at the bars on my rear and I had to get another mounted. Now the cycle begins again...

    Re: Just a casual reminder to check your tire pressure.

    About a month or so ago I needed a new tire gauge. I figured, what the heck, I'll check WalMart auto. So they have gauges on sale for a buck each. I take all of them to the guy at the auto counter and say, "Do me a favor. Check these and pick out five that match your in house gauge." The guy looks at me kinda funny (kinda like you do sometimes, ha) and comes back and hands me five. I pay. I leave. To date three of the five have popped apart--pieces flying everywhere. Good thing nobody took it in the eye. Next time, I'll go with my Motorcycle Consumer News in hand and get one that they recommend.

    One gets what one pays for.

    Re: Just a casual reminder to check your tire pressure.

    I usually run between 40-38 rear and 33-35 front... What tire pressure do other people run?

    I believe the recommended tire pressure for my bike is 36 front and 36 rear.

    If you find a wet spot, that may mean you have a leak.
