I fully agree with the title..... I guess one could paint that scheme on a current bike!! see ya bill

Me loves the Cherahola !! Cepting when the Ranger busted me for speeding... What a buzz kill.... Fortunatly he wrote for only 15 over....

Ya kuda kept quiet.....

Hey ! Put 330 miles on the S-20's today. So far, sticks like glue! Turn in is quick. Much quicker than the Q2' I had been running. I got mine from SPORTBIKETRACKGEAR.COM. $201 delivered. Not sure they are still running this special. Lots and lots of bicycles on the Cherahola today. All mostly seemed to be going east to west. You had to be very careful!!!! or.... was it the harley parade..... hahahahaha Dragon was not too crowded, but the LEO presence was great. Four TN State Troopers. Two NC emergency vehicles at the state line. I heard there was a couple of fatalaties this last week and the Governor was not in the mood to have more.... Otherwise, great day. Well, except for the speeding ticket on the Cherohola. Rats... see ya bill

Yup, just spooned on a set. Will be up over the Cherahola Saturday. Let you know !!! bill

For multiple season gear, the Olympia AST and Ranger Pants are a good combination ( I have). The Olympia Phantom suit would be my pick for a one piece textile. Give Tellico Plains Outfitters a shot for pricing. They have treated me great and will answer all questions. For spirited riding....... I agree leather is the best, but putting a cow over your body in 90+ temperatures is HOT... hahahha

I have a HF tire "machine" with M/C attachment. I took some cut up shampoo bottles and used the plastic bits to shim the slop out of the contraption. Some more cut up bits and I have the rim protectors. For the rim holder I, again, took some plastic and heated it up, forming to the grip surface. Went to Wallyworld and got some teflon "furniture" movers. Cut them up, epoxied them on the HF bar tool. Works just fine. I am a cheap bastage.. hahahaahahha

Zounds!!!!!!!! Mr. Dogman, No matter, it seems, what I run, I get 3k front, 2.5K rear. Strada's, Michelin PP, Dunlop Q2.... but, then again, North GA is known to be tough on tires. hahahahahah bill

Always an interesting subject. Here in N. GA, I generally get 2200 -2500 miles max out of a rear and maybe 3000 on a front. I am currently running Dunlop Q2's, since they are $199 a set delivered.

Much more fun in hot weather. Tires are sticky and don't gotta worry about snow or ice on the roads. This year, though, finally got a Olympia AST Jacket, Ranger 2 pants, and Gerbings heated jacket. I refuse to be cold on a ride anymore. Tired of looking like a turtle..... hahahaha

Got a set of Michelin PP's on the way, Promo code: JW009 $10 0ff and using code additional $20. $158 delivered. we shall see !!!!

Looks nice. Being the cheap skate that I am, I took a 1/8" thick x 5 x 10 strip and attached to the flat hanging down part in front of the rear wheel, protecting the shock and back motor area...

Wow, great trip !!! What gear did you take? thanks bil
