I bought two at Radio Shack and had them tested for accuracy at a Dunlop tent while attending a Gold Wing rally. :thumbup: They were both very close (1psi off).

NO, No, NO, :Flip:north west Arkansas and southwest Missouri do not have great roads!! Hwy 160 from Doniphan west isn't THAT good. Hwy 7 form Harrison AR to Hot Springs is much too twisty(it really is too congested) and Hwy 123 (the pig trail) is much too short to be any fun. If people knew...

vibration & GPS Hey gang, Concerning the affect of vibration. I have Garmin e-trex legend, that I ususally have on a 625 KTM dirt bike(a Big THUMPER:rockon:) It would shake the guts out of any electrical equipment. To avoid this, I purchased a vibration-isolation mount from touratech...
