Put air in the tires... All by myself!

Might have been the first time since I bought the Geezer. I noticed the front had gone a little soft and it was going to be a while until I was going to be at a dealership. Noticed on the backwheel the spokes are shorter and the stem is harder to get to. Had to thread the filler tube through the spoke lattice to get a good "docking" connection.

I'll be expecting my mileage and top speed to skyrocket...

Re: Put air in the tires... All by myself!

Been there, done that, probably hosed up my carb from overfilling. But Never say Never Again. I also installed a new turn signal/running light reflector for the one that fell/cracked off the front of the Strat. That one involved a Phillips head screw!

But did you use a JIS Phillips or an American standard Phillips ??

I guess I just learned something new... or at least one more thing I don't know.
