The Motorcycle Discussion Thread
I figure there are some motorcycle guys/gals on CP, so I thought we could have a place to talk all things Motorcycles.
Tire Mount and Balance Prices (as of 10/29/16) Prices based on if you remove the wheels yourself and bring the wheels and new tires with you: Cycle Gear - $35 per wheel if you buy tires from them. $58 per wheel if you buy tires elsewhere Rawhide - $65 per wheel (assuming it would be the same at other HD dealers. they book it at 1/2 hr per wheel) C R Cycle Tires (DeSoto) - $30 per wheel Cheapest I've found my Michelin Commander II's. Seem like they have good prices on other brands too. http://www.jakewilson.com - Free 3 day shipping on orders over $75 Last edited by Dayze; 10-29-2016 at 09:02 PM.. |

Some folks think they'll want to ride or think they'll ride more than than they actually will etc. so it's always a balancing act of how much $ you want to spend compared to how much riding you'll do. |

Too early for a roll call for BBB?
Headed out from Olathe, KS Thursday afternoon/evening. Staying with my dad in Bella Vista, AR. My brother is going to a concert on Friday night somewhere near the rally; no exactly which day/s we'll be at the rally to people watch/bike watch. I know this year we're not riding 'as' much as we did last year. Definitely riding through Eureka Springs again. Other than that I'm not sure where we're riding while we're down there. Last year we were up at dawn and returned to Bella Vista at sundown each day. Probably won't be that much riding this year but we'll definitely clock some miles. anyone going who might want to hook up for a beer and shoot the shit, post in this thread and maybe we can work it out. My group this year is only my brother and I. |

yeah, it's a huge rally and shit gets booked up really fast and super early in the season. I'm pretty fortunate that I don't have to deal with that, with my dad living down there etc. the roads are immaculate down there. if not this year, you owe it to yourself to check it out at some point. curves for MILES. so many cool sites to stop and see while down there too. pretty much can ride in any direction and have a good time.
i heard that the Pig Trail is closed though; I guess it was washed out or something with all the rain etc. THAT road is fun. Worth the trip just for that. |

That might just be a trip I take to hit the roads and waste a few days on next year on my way to Texas then..I always heard it is beautiful down there and a perfect place to own a motorcycle

yeah, it's definitely some perfect riding down there. hell, worth it even during non-rally time. been to one rally, been to them all for the most part etc.
you really forget how awesome the roads are down there once you're back up here in KC etc. each time I get back down there I'm still grinning ear to ear like I've never been there before. beautiful down there. |

good point.
if I suspect they're questioning me, I'll hit them up with my bench press numbers from 20 years ago. I really think that should do it. |
