We use a bicycle floor pump to fill the motorcycle tires, yep. Fourth bike with tire changes, and we used it to set the beads, too.
I pump it up, and check it with a good tire gauge. The one on the pump itself isn't terribly precise.
And yes, keeping an eye on the tire pressure is really good advice. We've got a safety check list posted in the garage that it's a good idea to check every ride:
Gas level; tire pressure; chain slack; bulbs all working; bolt tightness (marks painted on the engine motor mounts and several other bolts, so I can easily see if anything's loosening); and have a thought about rescue if anything happens. Can you call someone with a trailer or do you have tow insurance? Things like that.
