Yes Chinese air is deadly, but its supposed to be the most pleasant of deaths. Apparently, you find yourself on Gilligans Island being ministered to by Ginger and MaryAnn. The theme from A Summer Place plays continually in the backgroundand youre sipping a bright blue tropical drink with a cheery orange parasolstuck in the stop. Your whole body tingles with delight. Suddenly, identical twins named Skeeter and Scooter appear, holding transistor radio sand doing the frug with wild abandon. Frank and the rest of the members of the Rat Pack appear, and greet you as a hale fellow, well met. Then, they raise you above their shoulders and carry you off to a wild, swinging affair, filled with half-clothed celebrities and fun with a capital F. So go find a Chinese air and get ready to finally live!

I only use air that is 78 percentnitrogen because it's sexier and makes my bike go faster.
I all seriousness, I do believe that leaving summer air for the winter is dangerous from a pressure standpoint.
Not only do tire generally lose pressure over time but summer air is warmer and because of Boyle's Law, the pressure will reduce when temperature is decreased.

Unless it's liquid helium. That would freeze your tires solid

True story.
I had a friend back in the mid 80s that worked at one of the old school gas stations with 2 service bays. He told me one day a lady came in and told him she wanted the winter air removed from her tires and summer air put in. He said he tried to tell her that someone was pulling her leg and said she got downright pissed off at him. So, he went out and removed the valve cores from her tires and let them deflate most of the way, put the cores back in and aired them back up. He charged her $5.00 and she went away happy.

I am figuring, when u look at ur bike, the bottom of the tire is on the ground, flat. That part of the tire not touching the ground is round the way a tire should be. (
Do you see what is coming?) Or at least flatter on the bottom of the tire where it meets the road.
But tires are supposed to be round. So maybe tomorrow I will look for a gas station that sells air with ALL round air molecules. And pump all round air molecules into my tires. And that will solve the issue with the bottom of my tire being flat.
Made sense to me.
I think either this thread should have been in the Humor section or we should have a forum called Slightly Deranged or Off Center.
Hey, threebyrds started it.
Peeeeoooooooowwww..........
