I just went for the best ride ever. wanna know why...

Yep! I've fallen foul of neglecting tyre pressures, and it's true, the bike felt wonderful afterwards, for all the reasons stated above.
Another little bit of advice I was given was to re-adjust the angle of my clutch and brake levers so that they became an extension of the angle of my arms (wrists). That too made all the difference to comfort levels.

Both the above tips were on my previous bike (ZX9R). But I've applied them to the CB since.

i still cant get over how different the bike feels.

Sheesh some people got no sense of humour

I do agree with you, the correct tyre pressure is important and makes a huge difference which is why one should buy a guage and check when cold.....

Just wondering how much off are the gauges on the pumps at the petrol stations? Are they really that unreliable?

Some are some aren't - it really depends on age, abuse and design. $40 bought me one of those Dunlop footpumps with a pressure guage on it. Does me just fine

.

Air in the tyres
Petrol in the tank
Oil in the engine
Oil on your chain
Tension your chain
Top up your battery

Basic stuff on the to do list each week.

Yes, most are very unreliable, especially the hoses with built in gauges that can be dropped and are, over and over again.

I am told it is also good for blow-up dolls - gives them that O back in their smile

I heard of a guy who took a blow up doll back to the shop cause it kept going down on him. The shop owner was stunned and replied that they usually charge more for that model.

I heard he tried to give her a wee lovebite on the arse but then she farted and flew out the window. Apologies to W Connelly.
