Tires

2000-05-15 Thread gsgall
Thanks for the info on tires. I went out and purchased a 170/60ZR17 Michelin Macadam 90XR. I wanted a BT57, but it would have taken them to long to get it in. The front is still the 130 and will last this season. We will see how it lasts. It will get a work out this weekend approx 1200 miles.

Huh, trailer you bike from Houston to San Antonio? According to my map it's only 197 miles for crying out loud - ride the darn thing!!! Sorry for the rant, but I hate seeing bikes on trailers. It's like going to Sturgis and seeing all those Ultra Classics on a trailer. Makes me want to
