thanks Kel for comparing me to a squid .... o wait why don't you nominate yourself and every other motorcycle rider while your at it
I never said squid and when I, and every other motorcycle rider leaves the driveway with a tire looking like that...I will.
The Darwin reference comes when glaring red flags are waving for all to see yet they are ignored. Call me crazy but I just don't see how that remotely seemed alright with you. Whether you like the car rim thing or not, it's clear that some people have done it and ALL the pics I've seen show the tire at least looking like it's on there.
When things look wrong...they usually are. I've lived long and prospered by that rule. My 2 cents.
