Good for you Big Al....You won't regret it. What tire are you going with?

AlabamaNomadRider · 04-06-2010, 11:04 PM

Found a local guy here that installs tires on motorcycles. I haven't had a chance to talk with him yet but when I do I am going to see if he will install a CT. Just not enough tread wear out the motorcycle tires, especially the rear one.

Welcome to the Darkside

Welcome to the darkside, Al. Once you're here, there's no going back. Cigars are in the humidor and cold beer is in the fridge.

**Jared** · 04-06-2010, 11:40 PM

Congrats! You wont regret it! After a few miles you'll forget it's even back there.

Thanks guys. Mitch, went with the SP 5000 on the back and Avon Cobra on the front. Haven't ridden it yet, still in the shop being done.

We are slowly corrupting even the few decent folks among us. Maybe someone should light a candle every time someone succumbs, say a prayer. Give thanks?

Nah, just have a beer and look for the next convert.

Welcome Al.

Welcome to the Darkside. I have about 400 miles on mine and I'm back to scraping floorboards again. Don't even think about it anymore.

However, I noticed almost a 2 MPG drop in fuel economy to and from work. Really had me wondering for a while till I realized now that the speedo & odometer were dead on I was was seeing a 5% drop in miles indicated which corresponds with the drop in MPG.

So I'm still going as far as I did before on a gallon. It's just that the numbers accurately reflect the true MPG now (35.5 MPG).
