Hi,
I made one for our 25000km motorbike trip in1976.
It would inflate a car tyre in less than 30 seconds. Carried it on the bike for more than 30 years and never used it roadside.
The BMW had two cylinders, and by un clipping one carby float bowl and turning off the fuel it would still start and run long on the other cylinder long enough to inflate a tyre with only fresh air from the non firing cylinder.
The hose was very sturdy and just long enough to reach the rear wheel if rotated so the valve was forward.
Now, I think they use small CO2 cylinders, small enough to fit a pocket .
Cheers
Camping in the rain at Ayres Rock in 68. Here a couple of days waiting for it to dry out a bit.

Yes, I've got a bunch of slides like that too.

That Gold D2a was a 5 seater coiler,best D2 we had.By the end of the model run they had them almost sorted.The previous ones were a disaster.
We wanted to go back,but i was never game to in the D4 with all the water crossings.

Thanks for those wonderful photos. It's a bit sobering how quickly "NOW!" becomes...historic. These really are photos from another time, less than a lifetime ago. There's a lesson in that for all of us. If anybody knows what it is, please let me know.Quote:

Thanks,
