Don't forget about it this time of year.

Watching tomorrow is too late for this important, often neglected maintenance task.

Don't forget to rotate your muffler bearings and change the air in your tires from winter air to summer air!

Now thats why when using my blinkers, on the dash board, I get no sound or arrow on the Bmer. Off to Auto Zone tomorrow to get some blinker fluid and change it.

I dont know about you but in the summer I use Helium in my tires not air, it cuts down on rotational weight and gives me a bit more float off the road so less tire resistance also. I get about 2-3MPG more.

My hand on the Bible, true story, in the 80s I was running Marathons, Iron Mans and other shorter Tris, a local Milwaukean, Bret Emery, was an Olympic Bike Racer, we hooked up to teach me how to be fast on a bike, because that is where you make up time due to the length of biking, most bang for your time. I still remember what he said, I cant teach to be fast, but I will teach you how not to be slow. So he told me in the 84 Olympics, they put Helium in the tires instead of air.
