    Coincidentally, just replaced my front tire today. Installed a Bridgestone Exedra Max with 2oz of beads. Haven’t rolled it yet so can't comment on whether it resolved my front end shimmy when I let go of the bars. I’m headed north off the rock in a few days so I’ll get to wear the new off it. My rear car tire is excellent.

    What keeps you in NY?

    I'm interested in seeing the difference, tire-wise, in having that rear tire on front. Since I put the Heli-bars on its pretty stable in the front as that crossbar really does the trick. What keeps me in NY in order of importance1. Grandkids in 2 different boroughs 2. My chapel (Traditional Latin Liturgy is scarce) 3.Business interests that I need to stay local 4. Location (on the water, JFK Airport is 10 minutes away, Knights of Columbus next door.

    My wife and I became grandparents for the first time 3 months ago. I can understand the draw of a grandchild now. Unfortunately, he’s in Connecticut and soon to be in New Jersey, so we can’t see him as often as we would like to, like daily. All others are perfectly reasonable, especially the chapel and the water.

    Congratulations, there is nothing like a little child calling you "grandpa". It completes everything in the circle of life. I gave him a remote control crane for Christmas, my son sent me the attached picture last week, he goes to bed with it right there every night, stick a fork in me I'm done.

    Great pic! There’s still hope in the world. Too many kids go to bed with their iPad.

    My son does not have a TV in his house, he refuses. No iPad just books. His wife does not like to go out to eat, they cook every night.

    His father is a boom crane operator so, hopefully, he'll follow in his footsteps.
