Oh, come on Rebel Ryder, I am not the can of worms, or even the subject is, IMO, it’s kind of straight forward:
Is nitrogen better than plain air ? list the pros / cons of each, decide is it worth the cost, along with, what type of rider one is ?
Do you check your air pressure in your bike or car/truck, but here it’s the m/c, once a month ?
If yes, and your not concerned with moisture, heating up the tires or very slow leaks, then common sense states of course plain air is free, it’s a no-brainer, stay with plain air and save the pocket change for more bling, simple.
If on the other hand one sees the benefits of nitrogen over plain air, spring for the few bucks at some hd dealer or try Costco even cheaper, the only down side I see, is yes you will have less pocket change for the cheap chinese bling, ok that’s not fair, not all chinese bling is cheap, money wise.
You see it’s a choice but with some, choice is not an option, since in their minds, it’s stupid to buy something that is FREE, not only for themselves, but get this, for all others, these are the clowns, ok that’s not fair, not all these riders of the Great American Freedom Machine, are funny.

He lost me at 10 bucks a pop, then I asked how about my bike tires and he said the same...
BTW I didnt say the salesman was stupid, he just thought I was.

"Im sorry I was in no way or form trying to impress you. I was in trucksandmoore yesterday they tried to sell me nitrogen for my tires, 10 bucks a pop. It sounded as stupid from the salesmans lips as it did on the brochure he handed me. I was unimpressed also."[/align][align=left][/align][align=left]X2lee, I know that, but what about the brochure I posted ? unimpressed also ? 10 bucks a pop, ? can I assume it was because of large truck tires ? the volume ? if it wasn’t and it was for car tires, I would be unimpressed also, well really, I would have laugh in his face and found some other place, oh, wait, do you live around where RED E GLIDE, works ?? just wondering ? [/align][align=left][/align][align=left]"x2lee"
"If you want to impress me, send me 20 clams and I will buy some snake air and have a truley informed opinion... "[/align][align=left][/align][align=left]Sorry x2lee, as with lp you didn’t pass the test, you didn’t list any of the stupid things in the brochure or what the stupid salesman said ? and who knows, maybe I would have agreed with you on the salesmen ? : - ) [/align][align=left][/align]

“He lost me at 10 bucks a pop, then I asked how about my bike tires and he said the same... “

He would have lost me too at 10, and WTH the same for m/c tires ???? I wouldn’t be buying nitrogen at that price for my ride, damn I like competition and the free market !

“x2lee”
“BTW I didnt say the salesman was stupid, he just thought I was.”

That is the major mistake salespeople make, the AH’s, it’s what gives business a bad name, but it’s not all people in businesses who operate like that, but I think he proved he was stupid : - ) again the free market, works !

Later, x2lee

With the price of gasoline up, I think I'll put Helium in my tires. Lighten up all that chrome on the wheels and get better mileage. *smirk [/align]

I could bet there are more than a few here, when they first heard of the internet the first comment out of there mouths had to be something like "big deal, WTH is it good for ? it’s crap, it’s stupid !!" [/align][align=left]Then as time passes one says to the misunderstood jerk, hay, the internet, it’s good for **** !!! WTF, ? why didn’t you tell me that, the first time !!!!! [/align][align=left][/align][align=left]Another one confused by colors, what must math be like ? impress me 06train, what do ya got ???? [/align][align=left][/align][align=left]cj [/align][align=left][/align][align=left][/align][align=left][/align][align=left][/align][align=left][/align]
OK..you forgot these..
