I figure there are some motorcycle guys/gals on CP, so I thought we could have a place to talk all things Motorcycles.
Tire Mount and Balance Prices (as of 10/29/16)
Prices based on if you remove the wheels yourself and bring the wheels and new tires with you:
Cycle Gear - $35 per wheel if you buy tires from them. $58 per wheel if you buy tires elsewhere
Rawhide - $65 per wheel (assuming it would be the same at other HD dealers. they book it at 1/2 hr per wheel)
C R Cycle Tires (DeSoto) - $30 per wheel
Cheapest I've found my Michelin Commander II's. Seem like they have good prices on other brands too. http://www.jakewilson.com - Free 3 day shipping on orders over $75 [Reply]

I absolutely love it. It handles so well. Plenty of torque, and speed. I can't find anything to complain about it. Heck, even comes with a built in weather radio. [Reply]

Have you seen what kind of mileage you get from it..how is the ride
I come into a bit of money and I'm seriously thinking of getting another bike in the spring..Victory is my top choice but haven't talked to any owners..so I am going to pick your brain on it [Reply]

I'm getting 40.6 mpg around town and 45 on the highway. Very smooth ride, and shifts smooth.
You should go down to the nearest dealership and give one a ride. [Reply]
ordered this tonight on ebay using that make offer feature. I actually like that feature - I've never used it before. It was listed at $239 + shipping, and I got it for $210 + shipping. not bad I suppose. I hadn't seen them anywhere for less than 239. we each countered twice, but I wasn't going to counter a 3rd time just to try to save a few more pennies. I think $210 was a fair deal.

lol. That ain't no shit. I've seen those bottles for like $20; might have to stock up on them and wear them around my chest like Rambo with ammo.

leading the pack somewhere around Branson. I think East on 86 going over Table Rock Lake headed towards 65 North. I think off of 39 South/Shell Knob.
sore ass most likely setting in; on the road probably 7 hours at this point. I remember going east hoping to god i would hit 65N because I knew I would just rail it into Branson (coming from the south) [Reply]
