    New tires

    Just got my wake-up call on the tire condition, I should have known better, but thankfully my eagle eye buddies alerted me that I was coming up on the wear bar indicator of the tires.

    But they looked so good .

    I would have embarked on a 4K trip and been in deep S..t, remind yourself the "the wear bar", forget about the rest of the tire.

    Thanks, Tim and JJ for looking out.

    By the way, the new tires make your F6B ride even better than before, if this possible . Smooth.

    It got better, really smooth-riding now, THE DARKSIDE, loving every minute of it, never ever going back to the crazy tire prices and lousy mileage, 3 new tires and 5 flats and one flatbed tow in 5 months, run-flats here I come.

    This story just continues. Got a call today, bike is finished. Fourth day after a promised no more than two. Ok, what’s the damage…$306.53. I was quoted $240 plus shop expenses. Think I saw $253 on the quote. Guy in the phone, not one of the service guys, says they put balance beads in them. Ok, that’s what I wanted in the first place, they said they didn’t use them, so I was going to settle for the spin balance. I can’t wait to pick it up. No calls to explain the spin to beads change, just toss on an extra $60, no big deal.

    I can give you a partial clue, it is uninformed customers catering to their Stealership practices, and for prospective customers reading this and not making an informed decision is going to solidify the practice.

    Yeah, it sucks you being taking advantage of, hope you find a better option in the future.
