Greetings Listees,

I am a bicyclist and carry a high volume bicycle floor pump.  I can
easily add a few or more psi to my tires. I got in the habit of
carrying it long ago because the windshield washer tank on my 78 Westy
was simply a pressure vessel with a rubber hose and schrader valve
(car type) to pressurize it.

My wife always carried a small compressor that plugged into the
cigarette lighter. It was not as reliable as my pump. Good pumps can
be ordered through performancebike.com or bikenashbar. I'm not talking
about the kind of pumps available at K-Mart, Walmart, etc.

Works for me and a good pump has an ACCURATE pressure guage.

Cheers,

Fred
89 Westy
