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.. |

I'm a member of a charitable riding organization, and we have rides nearly every weekend. We are organizing a poker run for the 21st of May.
I'm down to meet any fellow bikers so when ever, I'm down. |

I'll prolly leave the fairing off while we get aquainted...but it has tunes, so it eventually find its way back...it would be pretty easy to switch from cafe to touring and back..gonna put Emgo slipons after the summer. |

yep. basically a new bike. they did the 5k service apparently.
of course, who knows if that's true or not bike looked like it sat for a while. the paint was wiped down at the dealer, but when I got it home i did a thorough cleaning, and it was filthy. but she's clean now. though...extremely quiet. I need to upgrade to some slip-ons STAT. lol |

I haven't checked those dates Mac, but I know at one time (at least as of a few years ago), Cassoday was the 1st Sunday of every month during riding season. If that helps you or anyone remember.
last time we rolled to Cassoday via Council Bluffs, then back through to Emporia and ate at Pizza Ranch (buffet) and got our bellies full. then S on 98 (or 91...can't remember) right out of Emporia over to 58 which eventually hits 169 if I remember correctly. rather than just blast down the interstate etc on I-35. Good idea about Cassoday and a potential CP ride. |
