    Being assimilated to the Darkside

    Well... this is a momentous step in my life; as far as motorcycling is concerned



    It just arrived; finally... from Canada. Easier getting weed from Mexico; as compared to getting a tire from Canda these days...

    Hope I don't burst into a ball of flame and fiery brimstone; while on my first ride with it.

    Now... just got to find someone whom will mount it on the wheel for me.

    Take it anywhere, IF they ask just tell them it is for a trike.
    Too many guys give out too much info and start with the question,, will you mount a car tire on my motorcycle rim. That usually raises issues.
    I've spent most my money on Motorcycles and Women, the rest I just wasted.

    Okay - just stop! There's no reason to confuse the Borg Assimilation doctrine with the Dark Side of the Force.

    You may now proceed with mounting your tire...

    Which one did you get?

    I think that you will like it once it is on, and you have ridden it for a couple of hundred miles.

    I haven't gone dark side on my F6B yet, but did on the VTX. It was a little weird at first, but I had been warned to not form an opinion on it until I had some miles on the tire.

    After about 500 miles I really got used to how it handled with the GYTT on the back. Ruts in the road were a pain, but boy did the tire add stopping power to the bike. A couple of times I had to lock it up because of cagers doing stupid things without warning, and not once did the rear end let loose on me. I put on over 13,000 miles on that tire before I traded the VTX in on the F6B, and it still looked like new.

    Are you planning on going double dark?

    All of the other "Nay Sayers" of the "Dark Side" have gone the way of the Dinosaurs Just turned 48K miles on my 6 and all of those miles except for 1190 are on a General G-Max Car Tire Currently on my second one and have two spares remaining. I anticipate hitting the 100K mile mark with the G-Max's and be in flames the entire time
