Good morning, Stephen! Great to see you, Brother! Thanks for the informative video. So many out there are so reliant on their cell phones to call for help, they have no clue what to do to help themselves. Hope you've been well and are doing fine. See you on the next one! God bless.
I bought jf air compressor, I have only had to use it a couple times but for my small SUV crossover it does just fine, great in an emergency while out on the road and can use it to charge my cell in a pinch. As a "break glass in case of emergency" tool, I am happy with it.
Tires getting too old will blow even if they have always been kept properly inflated. The rubber on new tires deteriorates faster than it did on older tires. I have a vehicle sitting around right now that needs new tires. It has one tire that leaks through the sidewall due to rubber deterioration from age. According to the tread, it would have thousands of miles left on it. No way I would take it out on the street! Retreads blow more often. Most truck companies run retreads on trailers and they do blow more frequently than new tires, despite companies denying that fact. I worry about the batteries on devices like this inflator going dead. Most people will stick it in their glovebox and forget about it. By the time you have a low tire, the battery may be dead. Few people are going to think to keep it recharged. For your motorcycle, you won't have that problem. I have been carrying an old Thomas compressor in my pickup for 20 year or so. It has leads to connect to the vehicle battery. There have been faster units built, but the Thomas is durable. In a few minutes you can air a car tire from completely flat to proper pressure. Of course it is bigger than the phone size inflator. Going bigger, I bought a Viair unit last year. It is pretty good quality, and can air up even a larger off road tires fairly quickly. Always a good idea to leave your engine running when using a compressor that runs off your vehicle battery!
I bought a tire inflator that has to be plugged into the Cigarette power port, gave it to my daughter, as I was going to be out of state for several months. a few weeks later, she called me and said " I had to use that tire pump today, and it worked great, took 5 minutes " now she is a Rural Mail Carrier, so she is out in the boonies every day, and the local tire shop won't come out to help her.... to be able to air up that tire and be back on the road, delivering mail again within 10 minutes made the purchase of that Inflator worth every penny.
Hey, that's not bad. I've had 12V cigarette-port inflators in the past, but they're usually a huge pain to deal with and I've had one just stop working on me (I live somewhere with high-sulfur in the air and that probably did for the $.05 of electrical contacts in the thing). This seems like a good backup, along with encouraging your kids to do a bit of a walkaround and kick the tyres every few times they fuel up.
It would be cool if they put a simple USB on it so that you could also use it as a battery bank. That would give it dual use and be more worth the money.
I didn't know y'all got remarried. Congratulations. I have a similar pump and they work just fine.
It has been ages since I have seen one of your videos. Glad to see your still at it

Might want to double check your title there, boss.
Lol, good catch. Thank you
Thanks, Steve did you say KLR is a 650? Nice bike.
Yes, it is!
See the new wedding ring
Stephen, you’ve been missing, when will you start posting again on a regular schedule?
Cool little device, esp for a motorcycle! Gotta snag one! Thanks for the heads-up, brother! Great video! All A+++++

Get out and fix it, Stephen Cox
