[Canyon Dancer in Colorado]

I changed out the summer air in my tires this morning and put in winter air. I had to change the settings on my suspension from 10 where I usually run it to 7 to compensate. I always wait until the first snowfall before I do it, but then I remember that it really makes a big difference in the way the bike handles. I got the additive at Walmart in the auto department. If you get yours there, be sure you get the one rated for tubeless tires (in the red can with blue lettering).

Heh-heh!!!

If you want that Wing to ride really good put Hawaiian air in them tires, I think you can get it at Napa. That is what we put in my wifes A/C on her Caddy. When you turn the air on and it smells like pineapples and it has a little moisture in it it makes your skin feel so soft. :wink:

I can see that the parked bike syndrome is hitting those in snow country hard about now. That cold has frozen those brain cells and caused hallucinations to erupt on this board. :wink:

Now this is a really good idea. :roll:
I wish I had thought of it. :wink:
Not the winter air thing, but... :lol:
the part about giving "April Fools" jokes for Christmas.
See folks, it's bad enough that poor Dancer has to suffer brain fatigue from living in those high altitudes. See how much worse it gets when it's COLD air too! :lol: :lol:
Good one Dancer :!: :!: :!:

Hmmm. I think I've seen that Caddy. It's a pink one that says "Mary Kay" on the side, right? :lol: :lol:

I used to work in a HESS gas station in Toms River, NJ. and we actually would have some customers that would come in twice a year to have us change out the air in their tires.. no lie! They would tip us very well so we always did it without complaining. Let the air out.. pump new air in.

Ahhh, I see someone else was bored with all the postings of late too. We need something exciting or contoversial to create a little more enthusiasm or interest around here, good one!! :lol:

 

[shuckaduck]

The air is pretty thin up there in colorado, did you get extra cans? Tim

 

[kevin burton]

what a load of old bull sh*t :lol: winter air in the tyres next it will be winter gas for the wing :lol:

 

[Jchefboyardee]

I changed the gas in mine, you did'nt? Don't forget the oil too!

Its kind of funny that this was posted now. I had a funny feeling about the way my car was riding yesterday. So I sat in front of my house and changed the air in the tires. My wife thought I was nuts for doing it but when we went out last night she couldn't believe how smooth the ride was. She is now a believer.

I can't find the link but there is a website that explains how the air molecules wear out and should be changed several times per year.

My wife tells me that I am full of hot air (along with a few other things) so I wonder if I can use some of that. I figure I would need less air given the rate of expansion of hot verses cold air? Gosh, if I were to use a breath mint when filling the tires, factoring in the small amount of air we lose over time, I wonder if that would act like an air freshener in a car while riding along?

I need to talk with Fred to see how I can get this packaged! Bottled flavored Goldwing Air. I think I will market two kinds. Minty Fresh for those reserved riders, and Salsa for the more aggressive riders.

Honey, if you are reading this, get us two plane tickets to someplace warm fast. I can see me rolling in the dough now, or something. :shock:

Thats why I prefer the full synthetic Air because the molecules won't sheer as bad bouncing around inside the tire as the normal, non-syn air. I've been considering using super refined AirTella because it's cheaper. It's not a true synthetic Air, but the price is right and it won't void my warranty.

CD - did you remember to replace your crush-valves when replacing the air? And, did you also remember to buy the special high-altitude air? All too often, the Wal-Mart down here carries the wrong kind. I suppose they keep it on the shelves for those flat-landers coming through on visits.

 

[TexanTrail]

Since I am new to Goldwings (6 months), and I'm learning more and more about them by reading the GREAT posts on this board, :bow: :bow: I was wandering if I were to drive my Wing up North, Will I have to change out the Texas air in my tires to Northern air?

I looking for the most comfortable ride possible........

TIA

I get the feeling that someone thinks I am joking. I am as serious s I can be about this.

 

[GreenDragon]

Just remember that the molecules of air are aligned in an east/west-north/south configuration. So, not only do you need to change out the winter/summer, high altitude/low altitude air, but you also need to pay attention to the direction you will be riding. If you are going east or west and want to change to north or south, or norhteast/south west or south east north west, you need to have the correct proportions of the designated air components or the bike may ride as though you did not even consider the consequences. :lol:

Should I change the air in my tractor tires , inquiring minds want to know?
