I had a friend that paid a hooker up front for her services. As soon as she got the money she jumped out of the car and ran down the street. Try telling my friend you get what you pay for.

I don't see the problem. He paid to get screwed and that's exactly what happened.

Please somone help.
The easiest and safest thing for you to do is on the next tire change get you a tube with the 90 deg valve stem. I ran them on my old Honda Shadow Aero for 10 years or so before buying my Limited. They work great and makes things much easier. Adding an extension to the existing sounds like a bad idea to me. For that extension to work you have to remove the inner valve part of the stem. That valve part is now in the 90 deg extension. If that extension fails then it is a quick and complete deflation!

Good answer, I wish I would have thought of saying that twenty years ago when it happened.

Not for $30+. Many posts on many brands on this subject if you do a search.
