It takes several minutes per tire...pumpiing then checking the pressure....and repeat....It was late in the evening and I was getting ready for my weekend road trip. It saved t ime for the early morning departure time.

Blues- there are numerous models of small power air compressors or inflators sold under $60. Some are even under $40. I use one from Sears that shares the battery pack with their line of power tools. You can get battery or plug-in models. Save your back and get a power compressor!!

I had no idea they were reasonably priced. Thanks for the info. I'll go see about one.

Went for a nice ride...three times around the same loop, trying different mountings for my camera to be able to edit a nice ride video...I was riding for about an hour & a half...when I got home, I realized my battery only lasts an hour...DAMN!! Need to do it again on a shorter loop...

Also stopped in an talked to the Honda/Suzuki dealer about a sport touring bike...but I decided that I still like my bike too much to make a move yet...but I got to ride my buddies BMW K1200GT, goes like a bullet & rides like a Cadillac!! But I was still happier on my bike, with the rumble & more personality than I've got...not too many people walked over to talk about his BMW, but quite a few were asking about my bike...most people don't expect a sporty bike to have a 1700cc Vtwin!

I'm unemployed for one more week, so I'm getting some riding in before I have to go to the new job next week...time to make up for the missed riding season.

Later.

Did a night ride. 100 mile round trip for a Board Meeting.

Exciting playing with the cars on the Northway.

Try to do the 2013 Honda ATV's, but argh, I'm so unmotivated when it comes to putting the Honda ATVs up as they use the dummest model naming system across countries. Does anyone care about ATVs anyways? HELP motivate me.

I rode on a Honda Foreman when I visited my cousin in Texas a couple of years ago.

Was it fun? Did you enjoy it? I haven't had much experience on ATVs myself (just once, but too young to remember).

They're lots of fun! The trick is to get it up on 2 wheels then floor it so the rear in contact starts burning out. Makes you look like a rockstar, but in reality is easier than roosting the back of a dirt bike through a corner!

LOL, sounds like a blast!

Honda ATV's are almost all up: http://www.totalmotorcycle.com/ATV-Quad ... -honda.htm

As of right now (working live on the 2013 Honda ATV Guide), I have all the Sport, MUV and Recreation ATV/Quads up.
