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.

Like the color scheme though.
I’ve ridden more powerful bikes, ridden much quicker/faster bikes, but I've ridden very few as intensely psychotic as that old motorcycling buddies H2.
I see him every once in a while, we still talk about that thing.

well see there ya go. I am soooooo unmechanically knowledgeable it's embarrassing...but at least I'm honest about it.

my first bike was a 500 virago. I was much smaller then! it was OK for a starter, but it could barely run down the highway at 65. my brother had a Suzuki GS550E. we'd take off and I'd always smoke him off the line. but a mile down the road he'd blow by me like I was standing still. anyways I thought it was kinda weird that his was such a dog at the start yet it could run 75 down the hwy easy. so my dad starts looking at it and determines it's running on only 2 of 4 cylinders or 4 of 8 valves...or some shit like that (told you I'm totally not mechanical). apparently it'd run on half it's capability at low speed and open up at high speed. I came home the next day and my dad is white as a sheet. he'd taken the bike on a few test runs and then tweaked something or other it and took it out again and it scared the shit out of him. it was a dog no longer. no more smokin him off the line. that old thing would move. I'm guessing even though I had a 500 to his 550, he prolly had twice the power mine had.
first time I drove it was pretty damn close to the day I got rid of my 500 virago. there was just no comparison.

If you could smoke anything off the line with a Virago, then there was obviously something wrong with the other bike. The Virago might have been the slowest motorcycle ever produced.

That would be the Honda Twin Star 200.
It’s what I took Cycle Ed on.
We called it “hillbilly cruise control” because going down the highway you could pin the throttle and not worry about doing more than about 55-60 MPH.

My bike has been in the shop for over two weeks now because my headlights went out and I am blowing fuses. I don't know why the manufacturers don't spend a few more $$$$ on the electrical on these bikes. I can't remember the last bike I didn't have this problem with. Missed a lot of good riding.
