Have Good Tire Gauges
When you choose pressure rangeyou should select a tire pressure gauge so the typical pressure you will be testing is in the middle of the gauge span.For example: For a typical car tire that runs at 22 psi you would select a 40 psi tire gauge and for a light truck tire that runs at 50 psi a 100 psi tire gauge.Never use a gauge on a tire unless you are certain that the tire’s pressure does not exceed the gauge’s maximum psi reading. Because over pressurization will damage a gauge!
If you want to keep your tire gauges in good working orderyou need to be sure not to over pressurize the tire gauge.This is especially important when using low pressure tire gauges. Also many compact spare tires have a higher pressure requirement than a typical car tire some as high as 80psi. If pressure is unknown or may be greater than the pressure range of the gauge use a tire gauge with a higher pressure range first. Over pressurization will damage the gauge and void the warranty. Severe jarring or dropping the tire gauge can affect the calibration. Using a rubber gauge guard can help protect the gauge. Also avoid putting tire gauges in a trunk or toolbox with heavy items. Use valve caps on your tire valves to help keep dirt out. Dirt from tire valves can accumulate in the tire gauge check assembly.
Tire gauge should be checked to keep a good condition Do you know how often we need to check?
Tires can lose 1 psi per month under normal conditions. Tires also can lose 1 psi for every 10F temperature drop. Check tire pressure at least once a month and before going on a long trip. Also don’t forget to check the spare tire to ensure that it’s properly inflated and ready if needed. Air pressure should be checked when tires are cold. Inflation pressure can increase several pounds during a long trip in hot weather.
When checking tire pressure also inspect tires for uneven tread wear cracks foreign objects or other signs of wear or damage. All tire valves should have valve caps. Check the air pressure with your own gauge. Some air pressure towers at service stations are inaccurate because of exposure and abuse. Also do not check pressure by just looking at the tire. A tire can be under inflated by 10 pounds and not appear to be low.
Harley Davidson History

Harley Davidson History
If you have been to Vegas or seen any of the thousands of movies set in Vegas then you have probably seen the mammoth Harley Davidson that sticks out of the front of the Hard Rock Caf. Believe it or not in true Harley Davidson style this motorcycle would actually be operational if there was a Paul Bunyan alive to ride it.
If you know the history of the HarleyDavidson motorcycles creation you would understand why its creators who believed anything was possible would not have it any other way. Harley Davidson was born when two 21 year old Milwaukee boys decided it was too much work to ride a pedal powered bike up and down the hills of Milwaukee in 1901.
It took one failed effort and a lot of work but finally William S. Harley and Arthur Davidson hence the brand name with the help of Davidsons older brother and an engineer down the street created the first fully motored bicycle that became the first Harley to ever grace the street of America. Although the bike frame was thin and sheet metals as all bicycles were at the time and the engine weighed 28 pounds it was successfully able to carry the boys up the hills and so an American staple was born.
Since then the bike has only soared in popularity and been both a standard of the hard rock life and a symbol of manhood. Not only has the owning a Harley been a class distinction among motorcyclists but now the logo itself has spread like wildfire as Harley Davidson makes about 5 of its annual revenue from the sale of items inscribed with the logo. There simply is no other motorcycle that can compete with the Harley on the road or in peoples hearts.
