Title: Checked your Tire Lately?
Post by Dave on 03/17/15 at 09:47:23

I just placed a Bike Bandit Tire Sale flyer on a sport bike parked out front. Someone that works at an office upstairs rode this sport bike to work this morning.

It is a shame that bikes don't have rotor or distributor caps anymore.....I feel like I should do something to disable this bike for a while.

Hmmmm, Wonder what the date code is?

IF, IT is only two year out, it Must be good yet ! ;D

Just like a LS650 I looked at, it was a a 99,
and advertised as:
“Only 2,500 miles And,
Excellent Rubber, just as it came from Factory”

Had to be good, right, it had wonderful tread. ;)

Looks like he got the good out of that one.

pretty even wear on the rear, but that front probably looks as good as the Tupperware.

The Highway Department has started to put in some traffic circles for intersections in this area. He is either doing laps around those....or the cul de sac in his subdivision!

Burn-outs, doughnuts, and stoppies take their toll... :-?...

I spoke with the kid that owns it a little while ago. He has new tires and is going to put them on Thursday! :)

Yes, it does pay to check them occasionally, wish I had a photo of my original IRC rear, there was a lot more canvas/nylon showing than on that one. I now look at mine quite frequently. Wonder what brand that one was?
