RE: Do you really do a " PRE RIDE CHECK? "
I put cap alerts on my tires so i can easily walk around and see if the pressure is low. green is 36 lbs, yellow is 4 lbs low, red is 10 lbs low.

RE: Do you really do a " PRE RIDE CHECK? "
I do a pre-ride check, and then I'm also very aware of what is going on with the bike the whole time I am riding. Also do "once-overs" when we stop on longer rides, always making sure everything is where it should be, no unusual noises, and every week --whether I'm riding or not (though the "not" is very unusual), the bike gets checked out when it is cleaned....
Rather that than stuck on the side of the road -- or stuck to the side of the road!

Pre ride check is not an HD exclusive. All manufacturers publish this. In fact my state DOT license rules of the road booklet includes the same info. If you take a rider safety class...it's included. But it is something I guess I should do more often.

I turn the switch and push the button, if it starts I'm done checking.

me to, I listen closely to see if I can hear the motor running... yep there it is... time to go. If I get a low tire I'll know before I get out of my driveway. No oil, probably not long after my driveway. Lights, horn etc.. probably should check that stuff more often than I do... for now it gets checked anually for the vehicle inspection sticker... man I feel worthless now

Shoulda checked the rear tire pressure last night while riding two-up. Bike was a little too difficult to handle on slow turns.
Either that or my better-half better eat more salads.
I'm always checking to make sure all the bolt-ons are tight also.
