Your sense of humor is intact; sending positive vibes for a successful result!

I remember the bike size transitioning with my son (many years ago). XR100 at 8, CRF150 at ten, YZ250F at 13 (why a Yamaha, son?!), and currently on a KX450 (why a green bike, son?!) at 27. Those early year memories are ones that you will cherish forever, Kelly; good for you both!!

You're cracking me up with the daily countdown, Charlie!

Back from AZ and just seeing this; thanks all! Hope to have some time tomorrow to do some searching. CiD; have you used those on your bike as well? I hadn't thought much about it but Udo's comment about air volume and tire size has me wondering.

Interesting. Any chance you contacted the company and let them know or asked what they thought? Someone not as experienced (I am looking in the mirror!) may not have caught that....

Nothing, sticks, knees, gauges; I think I am more confused now than when I started! I'm gonna Google "use your knee to adjust tire pressure" and go look for the gauge Bagstr sent also. Road trip to AZ for Thanksgiving leaving soon (no bike going ); I will check in when I can and appreciate all the input. Happy Thanksgiving!!

I guess I see comments saying 12 pounds or 14 pounds and I can see missing 14 and ending up at 12 and not having anyway to get back up (I've been watching the pump thread also); do you think the stick is accurate enough, Udo? When I was younger I just went out and rode; now I am worried that I don't have tubes, water, fuel, proper air, enough tools, recovery devices, etc.......

Is this the one, hobiee: https://www.4wd.com/p/teraflex-ez-tire-deflator-kit-5028150/_/R-FNNT-5028150 It seems that you were using one similar on your compressor, Paul (I am trying to remember back to an old thread, and I ended up getting one of those). I see suggestions on tire pressures that folks post and am just wondering how they are getting there.

Please expand on this and what you suggest

Trying to round out a Christmas wish list for Mrs. S. and she needs some stocking stuffer type ideas. Thoughts on tire deflators and brand/purchase location? Thanks all; Happy Thanksgiving!

Good for you; Congrats!!! And yes-I'm jealous!!!

Very nice; lucky bass todds!
