Tire pressure

[Idaho]

This is embarrasing but may save some one some problems so I will deal with it. I have not used a tire guage on my Nomad, even though there is one in tool kit, just because the bike felt fine on the road and the tires did not look like they were low at all. So, when I pulled the wheels off today and had the tool kit out I decided to check for grins and giggles. Both front and rear tires were low, in the range of 20 pounds each!! This may be why I got such lousy mileage out of them at only 8,500 miles.

Yeah I know, I really know better than this but low air pressure is always some one else' problem right? So, grab your tire pressure gauge and check those air pressures. I will bet you that those of you who have not done so will be surprised at what you find.

Now, go ahead and beat up for being a dumb sh*t.
