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.. |

We put about 160 miles on the bikes today. A little windy, well very windy, but it was AWESOME... I've has a few short runs over the past week or two, but today knocked off the rust.
A good day and great friends. |

Ya, wind was pretty tough today. Finally mounted my highway pegs so I was enjoying cruising on the county roads. Really comfortable.

I have a 1992 VMax and bought this battery 2 years ago. When it got to -16 degrees last month, I decided to see just how good the CCAs were in it. It started the bike in about 1.5 seconds. |

A few days after my last post I went with my wife to sit on some bikes to see what she fit, and ended up trading my extra softail for a 2017 Sportster 883 for her. Its rejuvenated my will to ride a bit and now two weekends in a row its been nice enough to get a little therapy on two wheels~ I have put more miles on my springer in the last two weeks than I did my FI softail in the 2 prior years.
Anybody else get out ? |
