Another plus for TPMS is when you are on a road that you may not be familiar with and something just feels a little "Squirrelly", you know, like you may have a low tire. With my Garmin TPMS I can check it on the fly, and either address it, or forget about it and ride on.
I also like that you can set your low pressure alarm at whatever psi you choose.
As mentioned, I have TPMS on all my vehicles, and have grown to like it.
However, don't forget, NOTHING replaces your periodic tire inspections!

I just remembered another option.
I heard a guy a few years ago say that if He suspects a low tire, He just leans way over and checks out His tires as He is booking on down the road. You know, I would imagine some dude must be pretty flexible to get a good look at a rear bagger tire ripping down the road around 70 mph or so, especially in the twisties!
Come to think of it, He could probably put His gas cap on the flat spot that He ground down on the top of His helmet when He buys fuel!

Right up there where guys say they check their air pressures on their baggers everytime they ride...

True, FoBo has a theft deterrent lock, good enough to keep honest people out type of thing. However, I have never installed them. Had not heard of anybody getting their's stolen. Valve caps are kinda like Christmas lights, when I was a kid who ever collected the most won.

I also have the Garmin caps. Had them for a couple years without anyone running off with them so far. One thing to keep in mind , if you go with the Garmin setup make sure you replace your rubber valve stems with metal. I had my rear stem split in half at 70 mph because I didn't listen to the warning.
