Some of you people should park or sell your bike.


Unless you are looking at going to the nursing home. Fat?


It embarasses me at times to say I ride a Harley.
I can't lay on the ground, I might get my SOA vest dirty and ruin it's genuine imitation distressed look.

I leave it on the rim since it's attached, and it's where you put the air in

Oh, wait..... you mean the cap. On the floor next to the tire

That is actually pretty close to what i do; but instead of inserting my foot, I insert the cap. I don't lose it or forget it that way

Ya I put the cap in my mouth quite a bit, sometimes on the dirty ground first.

Have to eat a bushel of dirt before you die.

I agree, the oem spoke setup is remarkably awkward. Harley had to dedicate some time to make it that difficult to check air pressure.
I have one of those, too. Locks onto the valve stem and allows you to add or remove air. Cheap at Harbor Freight but you might want to check the guage for accuracy. I replaced my gauge with a better one. I have mine on a recoiling hose and it makes airing tires on all my vehicles easy. Easy means I do it when I should and not when I feel like it.
