I took a tow truck home

As for scooter boy, you can shove your conceded opinion up your tight arrogant ass, Scooter, Cruiser, Sports, or Motard a bike is a bike, for me it's a way of life, and I am more of a biker than you will ever be.

A way of life but you only commute?
My suggestion for a scooter was in good faith. Scooters are the best thing to commute in the city.
As for who's the bestest biker I don't really give a shit. I know how to pump and check my tires, my oil and go to ride.

A big thank you to the boys at Botany Honda for the new treads! I love them The Grim Reaper is back to being nimble and light, going to take it out for a group ride tomorrow with a bunch of guys from work to really scrub them in....

Tyre condition is not just about "available" tread depth...

Age has it's effect on all things ... tyres included.

Age degradation shows up in many forms ...

Cracks and wrinkles seldom look good ... (except on me )

Hmmm, yes. I had the same on a car I used to own - tyres looked fine in terms of tread, but after sliding ever so gracefully into the back of another car on a wet surface I decided to replace them. Turns out the guys who replaced them told me I was an accident waiting to happen as the rubber had degraded to the point where, despite what they looked like, they were the equivalent of me being on ice skates.

LOL... how do you 'scrub in' tyres on a cruser?
Hey the BT45 on the front, great rubber for its price, I had them on my post classic race bikes, never failed me, as for the rear... not sure of what it is but will last a while.

Halle-fucking-lujah to that sister!

I see your Lesbians and raise you this

Carefully ... ???

Must be quick to do ... as they only use half the tread pattern. Her old tyre still had unused original tread on it. (after 30,000 km's)

Will the new tyres match that ... time will tell.

I think you will find taht it is a metzler lasertech, B45s are great tyres but do not look like that

I will get back to you on that one! There is some riding to be done!
