  1. Thanks Ratchethack - I did try water on the valve stem but no bubbles appeared. I would expect this since the air pressure has remained the same for almost four days now.

  2. OK I'm stumped.

     

    I have a wire wheel with a fairly new Dunlop tire and tube mounted (it's on a sidecar). Three days ago I found the tire totally without air - not even 5 lbs. I checked the valve stem plunger (which seemed fine) and refilled the tire. As of right now it still is holding the pressure from three days ago. I checked the wheel several times for a nail or other object and can't find anything suspicious. Since it's holding pressure, water immersion would seem to be of no help.

     

    The only thing I could come up with is that someone let the air out of this one tire and that is extremely unlikely - the bike is garaged.

     

    Anyone out there have a similar experience. I'm ready to take the wheel to my local shop and have them check everything, then replace the inner tube.

  3. Hi Bruce - your problem sounds like mine (I'm 67). I still have my Rosso Corsa but even with the ergo mods I have trouble with longer outings. My solution was an RT but the Norge sure looks tempting.

  4. Any of you had experience with photochromatic sunglasses. I have seen comments on other forums that said they won't work behind a plastic face shield or auto windshield. Others say that they will work under those conditions. The theory is that the lenses are UV activated and the plastic or glass blocks UV.

  5. I forgot about that huge federal debt he left

     

    Who doesn't leave a debt??? :(:(

     

    At any rate, I remember right around the embargo time a local Kawasaki dealer tried to take legal action against Atlantic City because the police motorcycle specifications were written to exclude any bike but a Harley. The MC police said they didn't want any other motorcycle and the case fizzled.

     

    Now AC uses BMW R1150RTs! :lol:
