Changing the air in your tyres

[greenhorn]

Carefull what part of the world you get your imported air from. As everyone knows air has a magnetic field, and air imported from the northern hemisphere has a tendency to polarise itself and attract back to the North pole. This is great when travelling in a northerly direction but as soon as you want to head in a southerly direction the magnetic field being opposite to the polarisation of the south pole reduces performance.

Or maybe I'll wait til I'm tuning the hydrocilator and do it then.

I got all excited today as I thought I'd found myself a hydrocilator and couldn't wait to pull it to peices to see how it worked,but unfortunately it turned out to be a hydrocollator which isn't even close to being the same thing.

There's enough hot air in this thread to inflate every tyre in the Air New Zealalnd fleet!!!

Made the same mistake myself when I got one to attach to my velocitator, turns out they gave my a hydrocollator which everybody just knows is meant for fitting to a decellatrix eh, dopey guys at "Flux-capacitors'R'Us" should have known I needed a hydrocilator!

Ah, so thats why the time to ride to and from the pub on the same route is never the same? :confused2

Ohh of course--I'da thought that went without saying-LTSA regulation-542/154:depair covers that one off.
All imported air is to be depolarised to ltsa standards.
Of course I can't speak for the black market air that is being smuggled in from certain asian countries.
I was told -shock horror that one of the Jap triads was smuggling air in from japan --of all places -in the tyres of jap import cars.
To ensure we have nothing to do with this illicit trace we have air samples taken from all tyres from other car yards sent to the LTSA

Hey SD, I will try and bet Marty to this, Commercail aircraft in NZ use Nitrogen to inflate there tyres. But I guess .

ahh FF but did you hear about the 747 that stopped and asked the pump attendant to...... Ahh never mind.

Thanks for all the brilliant suggestions everyone. I will have hours and hours of experimenting fun. I might try mixing two gases of different densities so the heavy one forms a 'pool' in the bottom of the tyre. That would lower the centre of gravity of the bike and bulge out the bottom of the tyre so the contact patch is increased.

Filling tyres with nitrogen is a recognised method of reducing tyre temperatures. Maybe not what bikes want, but certainly used in trucking applications.

Also, I have often wondered if there would be a market for importing cans of compressed Milwaukee air (complete with smog) for those Harley riders who want to keep their bikes absolutely 100% genuine. (Must be a bummer having to import oil and gas from the US, though )

We've just received a shipment of 'Race Air', from the Beehive. Guaranteed to inflate anything beyond reason and being hot it doubles as a tyre warmer.

Yea but would you put it any where near your bike??? I think not.
May be that's why the motorcade goes so fast ???????????? Hmmmmm you stole that load of hot air didn't you? :love2:

You mean it is a bucket.
