    All well and good, and I'll likely build a mechanical one just for the heck of it..... and because I've got all the materials already...........somewhere in storage. -Pete, in Tacoma WA USA

    Carb Stix is my response. The motorcycle speed shop near me primarily uses the Motion Pro Carb Stix, a 4 tube mercury manometer, but also has several others including the Carbtune and various mechanical types. They say it works best and is most accurate, but use the others where the Motion Pro is unsuited. This speed shop builds and tunes drag bikes and track racers as well as service regular bikes. -Pete, in Tacoma WA USA

    Flat tire

    Sounds like you didn't do the 'spit bubble' test for the valve stem like everybody else does in tire work, even if the work performed by someone else. I carry spare valves, a stem tool, and electric compressor for those kind of events. You should do the same..........what's the boy scout motto again........BE PREPARED Pete, in Tacoma WA USA

    Only fluid behind those covers is coolant. The cover keeps the plug from popping out. Pete, in Tacoma WA USA

    I use an angled air chuck. My scooters have 90* metal stems and the air chuck works on them slso. Pete, in Tacoma WA USA

    If I lived there and had to rebuild, it would be a well constructed geodesic dome with a rapid pressure equalization sytem designed for tornado response to keep the building from exploding from sudden external depressurization as the twister goes by. Pete, in Tacoma WA USA

    I put a heeltoe shifter on my first Venture but went back to conventional after a couple seasons because I couldn't relax for realization my heel could easily accidently cause an unwated/uncluthed gear change. Now I won't ride a bike with a heeltoe system, unless it is an old relic Harley like I first learned on. Pete, in Tacoma WA USA
