  29. Lost the Love 6 Oct 2017 20:52 Hi BillyJackJimBob (and others), I think we have all been at the feeling at some point in our lives. I raced off-road motorcycles for 15 years back in the 70's and 80's. I mean we rode and raced 35 out of 52 weekends a…
  30. Tires! 23 Jun 2017 17:18 I am also running the Pirelli Angel GT tires this year. Very good tire. No problems. I also can very much endorse the Michelin Pilot Road 2 tires. I ran the Michelin Pilot Road 4 tire last year for about 800 miles. Very…

  37. Best way to strap my bike 24 Mar 2014 15:36 Let me just add this comment. You cannot have too many tie-down straps on the bike. Some people may think it is overkill and looks funny, but I don't care. Back in 1980, I was towing my Yamaha YZ250 on my 3-rail metal…

  40. Lots Of Weight Added To My Rear 15 May 2013 17:08 Yes, it does seem unusual. They should have tried moving the tire around the rim. I would estimate that the tire is off balance and the wheel is off balance. It sounds like tire and wheel both wound up at their heaviest…
