It's riding season!

...and I've only driven my Fit once in the last two weeks. And new tires came in!

I just put a back tire on my scoot (06 Electra Glide)



Rear is lowered about 2", tire was half worn out when I lowered it so it didn't have a clearance issue at that time.
Now with full tread again it rubs in the top of the fender on bumps while the ol lady is on the back. Found this out on the way to get some dinner last weekend.....

Did I tell her it's because of the new tire? Hell no, I told her she needs to lose some damn weight.

For a minute I thought I was gonna wear a bowl of salsa home.





It's been rainy season in my corner of the planet, rain hurts when you go fast.
...and I'm too lazy to drag it out early in the AM to go to work.

With our "upside down" winter, I rode more in March than I did in April.

Mine's a 1994 Harley-Davidson Heritage Softail Special. I've owned it since '93 and ridden it 200,000 miles.

Looks like you stuck with the Dunlops. I've had them for years except this time I decided to try the Michelin Commander's

My only gripe is the Dunlop only lasted me about 8000 miles.
No burnouts on it LOL
