Tire pressures

OK, Ill admit it. I screwed up. I checked my tire pressures and they were both VERY low. :(" title="" border="0"/> I'm mad for the SAFETY reasons as well the tread wear and gas mileage.
I went 32 front and 38 rear. Please everyone, don't do what I just did. Check the tires before you ride or at least once a week.
I'll go punch myself again.
Don

Look at the bright side....you were able to stay upright and not scratch you or your bike.

Its easy to just jump on and go for a ride...I'll bet most of us are guilty of that once in a while.

That happened to when I had my Roadstar....... I brought it to the shop for something and when I picked it up he asked if I knew I had only 14 psi in front tire... felt stupid.... now I check. :)

And you were allowed to buy a Nomad? I would have sent you to tire basic 101!
