Air Up!

[tynan19]

Man would hate to have to do that. I am sure their were contests to see who didn't have to pump.

That guy prolly pumped up flats in those days 5 times a trip just to get to the beach.

Hey Karl - I remember using a spark plug - hollowed and adapted to a hose to air up. It took the place of the bike pump. We could actually air up all four in about a hour from scratch. Scratch was 9 or 10 pounds, and we worried about spinning the tire and screwing up the tube. Always carried a spare tube along.

I often wonder why some guys didn't blow up with the gas in the tubes.

Will I see you on Saturday?

gasoline in the tires.....ooooo sounds like fun

now a days we have fix a flat...

but you have to read the dammed directions...still

i once fixed a flat and then found myself racing this guy on the free way at around 75 miles a hour....which makes the fix a flat air heat up

(your supposed to deflate it and re-air up afterwards) which i did not..

suddenly i exploded that tire.....with a huge kabooom and there was an 8 inch hole by 4 inches wide.
