Yesterday I had the chance to put original pre-war air in my tyres and couldn't resist. At the back of a shed on a friend's 'plot' was an old compressor - Jim said it had been sitting there unused since his grandfather's days. Cracking a connection, the tank was still holding pressure. With a line attached, letting the air out of my Ruby tyres, I filled them up again. I couldn't feel any difference back on the road, but it was good to know I was riding on authentic 1930s air.

No nightingales - but pretty sure I heard a cuckoo...

Ive known guys who have been to the remains of the Lambretta Factory in Italy do the same, so they can have genuine Italian air in their bikes!!
