We all know that correct tire pressure is important for better handling, longer life of the tires and better gas milage. But how often do you really check it on your motorcycle?

When I ride on a daily basis - about every third day, but do a daily visual inspection. Once I start just riding on just the weekends - each time before I use it.

Before each ride. I never could ride a unicycle and don't want to try now.

I can tell you when I have a low tire by the way the bike feels.
I check it when it feels funky or when it looks low, and every service.
I look at it before every ride, even coming out of the convenient store..
I put on at least 10k a year, so that makes four times a year, plus maybe two times when it looks low, or feels funny, that I actually put a gauge on it.

I really try to check it more often than once a month. I ride everyday and I've rarely found it so low that I felt I should have been real worried. Every time the temperature drops a noticeable amount I check it. I check it before every long two-up ride to adjust for a passenger. I check it before every long solo ride to adjust for solo pressures.

I check it about once or twice a month and before any roadtrip.

I definately check it before going on a road trip. When I first got the bike I checked the tires everytime I rode. But, it seemed I would release more air out of the tire trying to get a good reading. So I bought a better gauge and check it about once a month now.
