When will it ever end.
Woke up this morning to freezing rain and ice pellets, didn't anyone tell the big guy upstairs that its April and the flowers should be coming out and more importantly our bikes should be on the road.
 Anyways now that I've stopped wining, I bought my 2012 Voyager last summer and I haven't riding in about 20yrs or so I have a loaded question for all you out there? I'm in the market for a rear tire for the bike and being out of the loop for so long I'm not sure what is out there or which one would be better, any help would be appreciated.

That was one nasty storm, I'm calling it winter's last hurrah ... hope I'm right!
I haven't changed my tires yet (soon though) but Commander II and Avon Cobra seem to regularly get high marks for durability. I've decided to go with the Avon Cobra to allow for a slightly taller tire, get the speedo a little closer than it is now.

Welcome from Ohio. Similar weather forecast, but have had some days nice enough to get the bike out. Hope spring keeps heading your way.
