hey everyone be sure to check your tire pressure before riding today. most of you usually do this im sure as do i but old murphys law will bite you hard. the one time i did not (yesterday), i bent into a sharp on- ramp and my front end was pogoing up and down so bad i almost lost. When i put a gauge on it my front had 14 psi! just do this today before you throw a leg over...

Ouch, 14....that could have been bad. I check 'em every time I ride just in case. They seem to lose about a pound per week depending on the outside temperature.

it was my first ride on the hiwy since swapping motors and if you have ever done that youd know that the whole fucking bike falls apart doing so! so here i am thinking how do i even begin to diagnose what i did wrong lol then light bulb moment lets check the air pressure...

Haaa, been there! That reminds me of the first street bike I ever bought...was test riding it (KZ650) at a motorcycle dealership in Houston and it tried to kill me. When I took it back from it had 15 lbs in both tires.
