Check those tire pressures! 9 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
I know most everyone (except Musky) is getting those bikes out. Just a reminder to check those tire pressures. I checked mine for the first time in a month and they were down to 25 pounds each. I am pretty good about checking when riding alot in warm weather, but I let it get away from me this time. Have fun and be safe@

Re:Check those tire pressures! 9 Months, 1 Week ago  
had a bloke in the shop last week asking me to give a once over to the valkyrie he´d just bought from germany.

`the steering is a bit heavy´ he said.

i told him that a 350kg bike tends to steer a lot better with more than 10psi in the front tyre

I have taken off more than once in the spring without checking the tire pressure and discovered it was way low. Does everyone run the recommended 36 and 40 PSI in their tires? I have been running the recommended pressure but it seems a little high.
