Pumping up tyres

By the way how many people actually have used a bicycle pump to pump up their tyres?:confused:

I tried it in the dark, in the rain, beside the motorway after getting off the Isle of man ferry. I now carry CO2 cartridges

Pumping up tyres

I have a BMW hand pump I have fitted under the tank of the Vincent and it actually works very well, as I once found out at Carter Bar (A68 Scotland-England border) in the rain/ sleet one cold October Saturday a few years ago.

Why is it always raining when you get a puncture?

Simon.

I tried it once in response to a challenge from a friend visiting my garage !!!
I'll just say this , you could fore-go a visit to the gym after inflating 1 tyre !!
