Thankfully, I already have a better quality one. I'll have to keep that in mind when I try out the gauge. Thankfully, I already have a better quality one.

Ride some place with air so in case this little guy isn't up to the job you can still get your tire aired back up. fasthair You read my mind.

Luckily haven't needed to use it to fix a flat yet (along with a bottle of Slime and a patch kit) but it's very useful for keeping tires at the correct pressure, even in the garage. The gauge exploded the second time I used it though. Good thing it was pointed the other direction. I take one of these with me on any longer trip.

Your motorcycle has two tires. Let the air out of one. Now you have something to inflate. :P Nothing to inflate? Your motorcycle has two tires. Let the air out of one.

Now you have something to inflate. :P

I end up with a lot of Powerlet jacks on the bike- for the compressor, radar, inverter, two heated vests, etc.. but on my "simple" bike I just have one SAE plug sticking out that I use on a battery charger and for the compressor.

I'm not a fan of loose connectors dangling hither and yon so the alligator clips will be easiest for me. I've had lots of practice so I don't mind taking off the seat to get to the battery.

I also need to practice since I know how to patch in theory but haven't actually done it yet. Patch kit is next on the list.

Make sure to practice- just drill a hole in your tire and see if you can fix it. A good time to do this is right before changing your tires :-) I've successfully used the StopNGo style plugs- in fact, I've used them while north of the Arctic Circle.
