    Well, if it shakes like an old Harley I'll be behind you to pick up the parts that fall off...
    I've spent most my money on Motorcycles and Women, the rest I just wasted.

    Tire is on. Laying the bike over was perfect. I'll scuff it up tomorrow and check it on the highway.

    I always when checking tire pressure with beads in the tire, clear the stem with a shot of air pressure, if there is a bead in there that will clear it and then check the air pressure on the tire. I have used this method for the 8 years I have used Dynabeads and have never had an issue with anything leaking air after I was done.

    He's old, it doesn't happen very often anymore so it was very important for him to maintain his stud status...

    I don't carry dish soap around with me, so I use spit to check for leaks. A little dab will do ya.
