That sounds like a GREAT trip! :thumbup:
Pack light... buy what you need... mail the dirty clothes home! nojoke

 

[Cavman]

Do a search for the local UPS or FedEx stores and ship the dirty clothes and any extras ground shipping home.

Martha vineyard is an island shipping in & out will not be cheap & i am

Plan "B"

Take old clothes and donate or toss them. Then replace them. Always fun to shop a bit..:yes:
The FOBO is a nice gadget but I have found that tire pressure changes very little and can drop with the climate and road heat alone. If you watch it all the time you will be adjusting all the time. Unless you have an onboard pump connected to each wheel I would save the money. Check your pressure from time to time or if conditions change drastically....heat, cold, altitude pressure will go up as well as down.....:thumbup:

:agree: Since you're already used to handling pretty much anything that happens with a tire; the FOBO may be unnecessary... :thumbup:

I have nitrogen in my tires but if it has a slow leak while i ride i am like anyone else cursing & screaming &
telling my wife to jack it up

At that point; does she put on her Navigator's cap, and tell you exactly where to go?? :yikes:


Mine does!

Have to disagree, even though I agree with the unnecessary constant tire pressure checking, the FOBO TPMS is more as a early pressure loss warning system. Would hate to loose control at 75 MPH due to low air pressure.

Okay...what is FOBO?

Thanks in advance. :thumbup:
