  • Pre-Ride Checks Are a Must!

    Checking everything over on the bikes. Usual routine when I pull tjem out of storage. Filled the tires up, then went around and checked all the tires one more time. Valve stem on one of the sport bikes cracked right in-half! Woulda sucked if that happened on the road . . .

    Yep yep . . .

    MSF came up with the acronym T-CLOCS, which stands for Tires, Controls, Lights, Oil, Chassis and Sidestand.

    Takes a few minutes but may save your life.

    Been doin this for years before I learned about it at MSF

    1983 XJ750MK Midnight Maxim (semi-restored DD)

    Sometimes it takes a whole tank of gas before you can think straight.
