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.. |

In case anyone down there/near there, or going there...here is the route we took. North of the lake, the roads had a very good mix of 25/35/45 MPH turns, switch backs, a few blind curves over the hills. South was pretty much a 60mph shot throuh the turns etc.

I'm a small guy. 130ish pounds. Thoughts on this? Better alternatives at, or below, $20K?

Yeah, the breakouts are killer. check out the Yamaha/Star Raider. pretty much the equivelant / market share of the Breakout.
are you taking trips to Grand Canyon from KC? or are you fairly close to it? Last edited by Dayze; 06-24-2014 at 06:40 PM.. |
